Myler Eggbutt MB 06

The MB 06 is a Myler alternative to the traditional mullen, but it has a wide low port that allows the tongue to pass under it comfortably. The port is ¾" high, just enough to allow the horse’s tongue to elevate slightly and swallow, but not high enough for palate pressure. When the reins are engaged, the 06 applies pressure primarily to the bars and lips.

• Independent Side Movement
• Stainless Steel Mouthpiece
• Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
• Copper Inlay
• USEF 2012 and FEI 2016 Dressage Legal. Consult rulebook for more information.

Notes: This mouthpiece is a step up in tongue relief from Level 2, but because the port is low, it does not offer as much tongue relief as other Level 2-3 mouthpieces with slightly higher ports because the tongue is still somewhat restricted. The MB 36 mouthpiece will offer more tongue relief than the MB 06 when the reins are relaxed, but more tongue pressure when the reins are engaged.

An eggbutt is a traditional cheek style which keeps the mouthpiece from draping on the tongue, providing a more direct signal than the loose ring. The straight side of eggbutt will not pull through the mouth and does not pinch. For a more versatile version, see the eggbutt with hooks.

Size: 3 ½" rounded ring

Ron, Dale and Bob Myler started designing bits over 20 years ago. They developed their approach to bitting from riding their own horses, helping other riders with their horses, working with equine dentists and chiropractors and studying how the bit works in the horse’s mouth. They continue to make custom bits at their shop in Marshfield, MO, in addition to working with Toklat Originals, the exclusive worldwide distributor of Myler Bits.
