Level 1 bits are generally ideal for young, green, or challenging horses just beginning training, as they apply concentrated tongue pressure that releases as the horse responds. They are designed to encourage relaxation and acceptance for horses still learning to yield to bit pressure. We always recommend consulting with your trainer to determine the most appropriate Myler Level for your horse's temperament, training, and current bit acceptance.What unique design features ensure my horse's comfort and compliance?The Myler Eggbutt Snaffle is engineered with a uniquely curved mouthpiece, creating more space for the horse's tongue and distributing pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, unlike traditional snaffles. This design prevents the harsh "nutcracker" effect and minimizes pinching of the lips. The wide barrel and subtle copper inlay further encourage natural salivation and a relaxed jaw, helping your horse to accept the bit more readily and foster greater compliance.How does Independent Side Movement (ISM) improve communication with this bit?Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a hallmark Myler feature, allowing each side of the bit's mouthpiece to move independently. This means when you lift one rein, it primarily affects that side of the horse's mouth, providing a more precise and clear signal without impacting the other side. This precision is invaluable for achieving better lateral flexion, shoulder control, and overall nuanced communication, which are crucial for the refined movements required in dressage and eventing.Is this Myler Eggbutt Snaffle legal for competition in dressage and eventing?Yes, this Myler Eggbutt Snaffle with the MB 02 mouthpiece is fully legal for USEF dressage, FEI dressage, and USEA eventing dressage. It meets the strict regulations of these governing bodies, allowing you to compete with confidence. However, competition rules can
