Unlock a new level of responsiveness and relaxation by providing your horse with the anatomical tongue relief they crave. The Myler Eggbutt Snaffle with Hooks bridges the gap between basic training and refined performance, turning resistance into a soft, willing partnership.Myler bits are world-renowned for their ergonomic design, and this Level 2-3 MB 36 mouthpiece is a testament to that craftsmanship. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel with strategic copper inlays, this bit encourages natural salivation while the forward-tilt ported barrel offers significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably and focus entirely on your subtle cues rather than mouth discomfort.Key Features & Specifications: Frequently Asked Questions:Q: How should I ensure the correct fit for this Myler bit?A: For the perfect Myler fit, the mouthpiece should protrude 1/8" to 1/4" on each side of the horse's mouth before meeting the cheekpiece. This extra width is essential to allow the bit to curve properly around the bars and lips without pinching, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.Q: Is the Myler Eggbutt with Hooks legal for Dressage competitions?A: Because the "hooks" (slots in the rings) allow for fixed rein placement and indirect action, this bit is generally not legal for USEF, USDF, or FEI dressage phases. It is, however, an outstanding tool for training, schooling, jumping, and Western disciplines where refined communication is prioritized.Q: What is the benefit of using the hooks on the cheekpiece?A: The hooks allow you to fix the position of the headstall and reins. Attaching reins to the bottom hook enhances the Independent Side Movement (ISM) and provides a mild amount of poll pressure, which helps in setting the horse's head and improving overall frame and collection.Item Number/SKU: 89-30365
