Myler bits allow for independent lateral movement, which has many advantages. The bits are anatomically shaped, resulting in better pressure distribution in the mouth. They provide more tongue freedom, allowing the horse to swallow and relax more effectively. The metal mouthpiece with copper inlay promotes salivation. When the horse yields and relaxes, the bit exerts no pressure. Myler bits allow for independent lateral aids, which is more intuitive for the horse.
This eggbutt snaffle is a Level 1 bit, intended for young or untrained horses. An eggbutt snaffle sits quietly in the mouth, which many (young) horses find comfortable. This bit helps the horse understand cues more quickly with its gentle action. This bit works more on the tongue. The tongue is a strong muscle that can receive signals well and tolerates pressure well, making it less susceptible to damage. This makes this bit more suitable for an untrained mouth.
The mouthpiece is curved and wraps around the lips and shoulders instead of pinching. The mouthpiece is 14 mm at the cheek.
