Frequently Asked Questions How do the "hooks" on the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit enhance training and communication? The "hooks," which are slots on the eggbutt cheek piece, offer remarkable versatility. They allow for multiple rein positions, enabling either a direct or indirect rein action without needing to change bits. These hooks also significantly stabilize the bit in your horse's mouth, preventing it from sliding and helping to prevent pinching. Crucially, they facilitate Myler's patented Independent Side Movement (ISM), allowing each side of the mouthpiece to move independently for clearer, more precise signals for bending, balancing, and lifting a horse's shoulder, avoiding the "nutcracker" effect. How does this Myler bit ensure horse comfort and provide tongue relief? Myler bits, including this model with its MB 43LP low-ported barrel, are designed with the horse's comfort in mind. The ergonomically curved mouthpiece is crafted to conform naturally to the horse's mouth, wrapping comfortably around the bars and lips to prevent pinching. The low port specifically provides crucial tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably, relax its jaw, and encourage a softer, more accepting mouth. The copper inlay further encourages salivation, promoting relaxation and acceptance of the bit. What is this bit's suitability within the Myler Bitting System? This Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit with Hooks (featuring an MB 43LP mouthpiece) is typically classified as a Myler Level 2 bit. This makes it suitable for a broad range of horses, including those transitioning from simpler bits, green horses, experienced horses new to the Myler system, or those needing re-schooling.
