This bit is an exceptional choice for: Frequently Asked Questions What makes the Myler MB 06 mouthpiece unique for tongue relief? The Myler MB 06 mouthpiece, often referred to as a "Mullen Low Port Barrel," is engineered with a wide, low port (typically ¾" high). This design allows your horse's tongue to pass comfortably underneath, providing essential tongue relief without applying pressure to the palate. When rein pressure is applied, the bit primarily distributes that pressure evenly across the bars and lips, encouraging your horse to relax their jaw and poll. It's considered a significant step up in tongue relief from Myler Level 2 bits. Is the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle MB 06 suitable for all horses? The MB 06 is generally ideal for horses with basic training, good self-control, and a steady disposition who are ready for more refined communication. It's perfect for those who benefit from increased tongue relief beyond basic Level 2 bits. It might not be the best choice for horses that are highly resistant to tongue pressure or extremely sensitive, but it excels with horses looking for comfort and clear, independent aids. What does "Dressage Legal" mean for this bit? Being "Dressage Legal" signifies that the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle MB 06 complies with the specific bit regulations set forth by major equestrian governing bodies, including the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI). This means you can confidently use this bit in dressage competitions without risking disqualification due to equipment non-compliance. Always confirm that your specific model does not include "hooks" (slots in the cheek rings) if competing under FEI or British Dressage rules, as these are generally not permitted. How do the various comfort features benefit my horse? Beyond its innovative tongue relief, the MB 06 incorporates several features for enhanced comfort. The curved mouthpiece is designed to prevent pinching of the lips and bars. Many versions include a copper inlay, which naturally encourages salivation, promoting a softer, more accepting mouth. Additionally, the Eggbutt cheekpiece provides a stable feel and prevents pinching at the corners of the horse's mouth, contributing to consistent comfort and acceptance of the bridle. How does Independent Side Movement (ISM) enhance communication? The Myler MB 06 mouthpiece features Independent Side Movement (ISM), a crucial design element. This allows you to apply precise, isolated rein cues to one side of your horse's mouth without significantly affecting the other. This capability greatly enhances lateral communication, making it easier to guide your horse through bending, suppling exercises, and nuanced aids, leading to a more responsive and harmonious partnership. How do I care for my Myler Eggbutt Snaffle MB 06? Proper care ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your Myler bit. After each use, it's essential to rinse the bit thoroughly with clean water to remove dirt, slobber, and sweat. Dry it
