The Myler Eggbutt MB04 14mm is a Level 2 anatomically designed eggbutt bit, created to provide greater comfort and stability for the horse while improving communication between horse and rider.
Key Features
- MB04 Low Port Comfort Snaffle mouthpiece with a slight tongue relief (“low port”) offering moderate pressure reduction on the tongue.
- 14 mm thickness: slightly thicker for a softer and more evenly distributed action.
- Independent side movement allowing each side of the bit to work separately for more precise aids.
- Anatomically curved shape that follows the contours of the bars and lips without pinching.
- Eggbutt rings provide more stability than loose rings and ensure a steadier contact.
- Copper inlays encourage salivation and relaxation.
Action and Effect
The MB04 primarily acts on:
- the bars,
- the corners of the lips,
- and, with stronger rein pressure, the tongue.
The slight tongue relief helps the horse to:
- swallow more easily,
- relax better into the contact,
- accept the rider’s hand more willingly.
This model is especially appreciated for horses:
- with sensitive tongues,
- that resist a single-jointed bit,
- young horses or horses transitioning to a more technical bit,
- needing a stable and reassuring contact.
Recommended Use
- Dressage
- Show Jumping
- Everyday schooling
- Young or rehabilitating horses
This bit is generally considered:
- more precise than a traditional single-jointed snaffle,
- while remaining more comfortable thanks to the tongue relief.
