It features a small, 1/4-inch low port that offers gentle tongue relief, allowing your horse to comfortably swallow and move its tongue freely. Its ergonomic, curved design wraps around the bars and lips, effectively preventing pinching, a common issue with traditional bits, and distributing pressure evenly for a more relaxed and accepting horse.Is the Myler MB 04 Eggbutt Snaffle legal for dressage competitions?Yes, the Myler MB 04 Eggbutt Snaffle is widely recognized as legal for competition. It is officially USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) Dressage Legal (since January 2012) and FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale) Dressage Legal (since July 2016). However, we always recommend consulting your specific organization's rule book for any potential updates or variations to ensure compliance.How does this bit improve communication, and for what type of horse is it best suited?This bit enhances communication through its "Independent Side Movement™" (ISM) technology, where a barrel in the center acts as a bushing, allowing you to give precise, isolated rein cues. The stable, fixed eggbutt cheekpiece ensures a direct and clear signal, preventing the bit from pulling through the horse's mouth. The MB 04 is a Level 2 Myler bit, making it an excellent choice for green horses, those transitioning from a Level 1 Myler bit, or experienced horses requiring re-schooling. It provides a direct signal without discomfort, fostering better understanding and responsiveness.What materials are used, and how do they impact my horse's acceptance of the bit?The Myler MB 04 features a high-quality stainless steel mouthpiece, known for its exceptional durability and longevity. Additionally, it incorporates a copper inlay, which naturally encourages salivation in the horse's mouth. Increased salivation promotes a softer, more relaxed jaw and a greater willingness to accept the bit, leading to improved overall performance and comfort.At what training level is the Myler MB 04 recommended, and is it suitable for transitioning horses?The MB 04 mouthpiece is classified as a Myler Level 2 bit. It's highly recommended as an excellent transitional bit for horses moving up from a Level 1 Myler bit, or for young, green horses just beginning their training journey. Its design also makes it versatile for more experienced horses who benefit from a comfortable, communicative mouthpiece within the Myler bitting system.Add the Myler MB 04 Eggbutt Snaffle to your cart and
