They stabilize the bit, preventing unwanted sliding and offering various rein attachment options for customized control. Attaching reins to the bottom hook allows for indirect action and enhances Independent Side Movement (ISM). ISM means each side of the mouthpiece can move independently, crucial for precise signals for bending, lateral flexion, and shoulder control, leading to more refined communication. You can also use the top hook for the headstall and add a curb strap for enhanced pressure distribution.How does this Myler bit ensure my horse's comfort and provide tongue relief?This Myler bit is engineered for equine comfort with an ergonomically curved mouthpiece and a wide barrel design, providing more space for your horse's tongue. This design reduces pinching on the tongue, lips, and bars, allowing for comfortable swallowing and promoting relaxation. The strategic copper inlay warms quickly and encourages salivation, making the bit more palatable and accepted by your horse, contributing to a softer, more responsive mouth.Is this Myler bit suitable for my horse's training level?The Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit with Hooks, particularly with its MB 36 mouthpiece, is typically classified as a Myler Level 2-3 bit. This makes it ideal for horses with basic training, those transitioning from milder bits, or developing horses that need clearer communication and more comfort. It gently encourages your horse to give to direct tongue pressure while offering varying degrees of tongue relief.Is this Myler bit legal for dressage competitions?While designed for comfort and clear communication, Myler bits with hooks, such as this Eggbutt Snaffle with an MB 36 mouthpiece, are generally not considered legal for USEF, USDF, or FEI dressage competitions.
