The Myler Eggbutt With Hooks Low Port Comfort Snaffle Bit features the Myler MB04 Level 2 mouth piece and Myler Eggbutt Cheek Rings with hooks.
The MB04 mouthpiece is ideal for the young-minded horse who can take longer to bring back & refocus after a spook. The innovative design of port gives some tongue room, but will rotate onto the tongue if the rider needs a stronger signal. The port gives the tongue room and make it easier for the horse to swallow and to move better.
When activated, the MB04 mouthpiece will first collapse to wrap the outer lips & bars, giving the horse some warning before it acts on top of the tongue.
Myler Eggbutt Cheek Rings with Hooks have been cleverly designed to allow the rider more precision in their aids. The top “hook” stands the bit up in the mouth, rotating it up off the tongue when the rider relaxes the contact, offering the horse a clearer reward. The rein hooks optimise the Independent Side Movement and provide leverage, so that the rider can rotate the mouthpiece downwards with less backwards pressure.
There is also the option to use a curb strap, which helps to balance the bit and allows the rider to control the downward rotation of the mouth piece.
This bit is not dressage legal.
