Bit for Sale - Used Myler Eggbutt, Low Port (MB43LP) with hooks

Myler Eggbutt with hooks, Medium Port Correctional Barrel

Some Uses and Benefits:

Rider:

• Traditional eggbutt allows a rider to put the rein on the butt for a traditional feel before transitioning to the fixed rein. Nice transition and familiarity for rider new to Myler.
• Hooks (or a fix rein position) gives some  leverage (vs. no hooks) so you can lift shoulders and do lateral work easier. 
• Rider can be softer with hands compared to regular eggbutt (no hooks). More comfortable for the horse when rider is soft.
• The mouthpiece will help with head-set or bringing the horse on the vertical. Why not have a bit that helps you help a horse to learn easier!

Horse:

• Easy for the horse to understand requests with fixed bridle and reins.
• The curb action (with a curb chain) will use leverage and therefore will ask for more attention from the horse while keeping your hands soft.
• The mouthpiece gives great room for the tongue. It will not interfere with horse when there is slack in the reins. Horse is more comfortable. Able to swallow easily.
• Ported bits are always more comfortable for the horse than a simple snaffle (single jointed mouthpiece) or french link (double jounted).
• When on contact, the port allows the horse room for it's tongue so they are more comfortable and can still swallow. Keeps the horse calmer!

 Not Suitable for:

  Rider:

•  With rough or quick hands. Anyone not in an extreme sport and/or has no patience.
•  Beginners who are learning to use reins for communication. Need some slight skill at using reins.
• Riders who wants to advance in softer, quieter signals. It's easier to learn and use a shanked bit for that.

 Horse:

•   Just started under saddle and learning their job. Need a horse who understands rein cues to some degree.
•  Who wants rider to be really soft in their cues (ie. leave my mouth alone). It's easier to learn and use a shanked bit for that.

Features:

• Independent side movement of eggubtt shank. Great for lateral work.
• Copper inlay in mouthpiece. Great for salivation. Helps horse to stay calm.
• Swivel shank for more guided lateral movement or direct reining.
• Curved mouthpiece creates more room for horse's tongue as opposed to a bit that goes across the mouth or jointed (nutcracker effect. Nasty). ie. Humane.
• Ported mouthpieces give more room for the horse to lift the bit and swallow so it's more humane to have a port instead of a flat/mullen or jointed mouthpiece.
• Hooks create a fixed position for headstall and reins. Will have some leverage action and use the Independent Side movement. ie. life shoulders, lateral movement. Good stuff.
• Mouthpieces are 7/16" thick. New larger thickness available as preferred by English riders.
• Most mouthpieces are sweet iron. ie. tastes good to the horse. No stainless steel or others that create dry mouth.
