Myler Eggbutt w/Hooks and Narrow Low Ported Barrel MB 43LP

This bit features Eggbutt cheeks with hooks and a Myler MB 43LP narrow low ported mouth. This is a Myler level 2-3 bit. This bit is NOT dressage legal.

The MB 43LP does not rotate onto the tongue but instead sits solidly across the bars and lips of the horses mouth. The port is narrower than a Level 3 mouthpiece but still offers room for the horses tongue to pass under the bit. Because the port is narrow, when the reins are engaged, the horse will feel a slight pressure on the outside edges of the tongue a gentle reminder rather than a strong reprimand. The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 " high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure. It is the mildest of the Level 2-3 mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure, just one step below a Level 3 mouthpiece.

The addition of the hooks to the cheek makes this a more versatile version of the standard Eggbutt. Attaching the headstall to the top hook holds the bit in the correct position instead of allowing it to slide around the bridle cheeks. Attaching the reins to the rein hooks allows the rider to lift the cheek and use the Independent Side Movement of the mouthpiece. Using the hooks does not add leverage but allows the rider to transition from a direct rein action to indirect action without changing the bit. Adding a curb strap (using a Myler curb strap kit) incorporates curb pressure. Curb pressure is recommended for ported mouthpieces. The small loop behind the top slot accommodates a curb strap (attach with two curb hooks). Both the top bridle slot and bottom rein slot will fit standard 5/8" bridle leather.
