Frequently Asked Questions How does the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit ensure my horse's comfort and address tongue pressure? The Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit is meticulously designed with an ergonomically curved mouthpiece that respects your horse's natural anatomy. It creates more space for the tongue, reducing pinching and allowing for comfortable swallowing. Features like a low port (depending on the specific MB level) and a wide barrel distribute pressure kindly, ensuring the bit works with, not against, your horse's comfort. Proper fit is always crucial to assess your horse's individual response. What is Independent Side Movement (ISM), and how does it benefit communication with my horse? Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a highly valued feature of many Myler bits, including this snaffle. It means each side of the bit can move independently when a single rein is engaged. This innovative design allows you to provide a clearer, more precise signal to your horse without moving the entire mouthpiece. ISM is particularly effective for encouraging flexion, developing lateral softness, and helping horses respond more accurately to individual rein aids, especially beneficial for young or green horses. Why does this bit feature a copper inlay? What are the benefits for my horse? The copper inlay is a key feature included to encourage salivation in your horse's mouth. Copper is known for its warmth and natural sweetness, which makes the bit more palatable and inviting. By promoting salivation, the bit becomes more comfortable, encouraging relaxation and leading to better acceptance. This is especially beneficial for horses that tend to have dry mouths or are reluctant to accept the bit. Which Myler Bitting System Level is this bit, and what kind of horse is it best suited for? This Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit typically corresponds to a Myler Level 1 (MB 03 Comfort Snaffle) or Level 2 (MB 04 Comfort Snaffle with Low Port) mouthpiece. Level 1 bits are generally designed for green or young horses starting their training, focusing on basic obedience. Level 2 bits are for horses with a basic education that are progressing in their discipline, benefiting from some tongue relief. It's ideal for young, green, sensitive horses, or those transitioning between training levels, aiming to promote relaxation and address a "busy mouth." What are the advantages of the Eggbutt cheekpiece design? The Eggbutt cheekpiece is engineered for stability and comfort. Its fixed, oval-shaped rings ensure the bit maintains a steady position in your horse's mouth. This design helps to prevent pinching or abrasion at the corners of the mouth, a common concern with other bit types. The enhanced stability of the Eggbutt design can be particularly advantageous for young or sensitive horses, or for riders who may have unsteady hands, as it minimizes distracting
