Myler Wide Ported Barrel Eggbutt Bit MB 33WL
Overview
Key FeaturesKey Features Learn More
The Wide Ported Barrel mouthpiece featured on the Myler Eggbutt Wide Ported Barrel MB 33WL Bit is the mildest Myler mouthpiece in terms of tongue pressure. Because this mouthpiece does not rotate onto the tongue and the port is wide, it applies little to no tongue pressure, working primarily off the bars and lips of the horse's mouth.
Due to the high degree of tongue relief offered, this mouthpiece is appropriate for an experienced rider with a horse that has a trustworthy and consistent disposition and is trained to work off the leg and seat as well as hands.

Additional Information
Ergonomic Design:
The unique curved bars of all Myler bits are ergonomically designed to accommodate the natural anatomy of the horse's mouth, wrapping the bars and lips instead of pinching. This curved design also provides significantly more space for the horse's tongue underneath the bit, allowing the horse to comfortably swallow when the reins are not engaged.
The generously wide port of this mouthpiece allows ample room for the tongue to pass under the bit and swallow, and the medium 1 1/2" height applies little to no palate pressure.
Independent Side Movement:
The barrel at the center of the mouthpiece is not a roller, but rather a bushing that allows each side of the bit to move independently of the other. When the rider engages one rein on a traditional bit, the entire mouthpiece moves, creating a confusing signal for the horse. In comparison, when the rider engages one fixed rein using a Myler bit with ISM, the rider lifts only one side of the bit, giving a very clear, precise signal to the horse.
Myler Philosophy:
The creators of Myler Bits, Ron, Dale and Bob Myler, offer this philosophy behind each of their bits: The bit is a communication tool between the horse and rider, and in order to effectively communicate with the horse, the rider needs a bit which allows the horse to be relaxed. Keeping this in mind, the Myler Bitting System is based on the concept of tongue relief. Distributing tongue pressure more evenly than rival designs Myler's unique designs offer varying degrees of tongue relief for the horse depending on his level of training and his disposition. These degrees are identified by the "Level" noted for each bit.

Sizing
Please Note: A Myler bit will normally measure 1/8” larger than the stated size because the Myler's believe that the bit should have at least 1/8” to 1/4” of bit on either side of the mouth.

Previous Feedback
Comments: The perfect solution for my hunter mare who hates tongue pressure, and responds well to bar pressure. A beautifully built bit, and a great alternative to riding her in a kimberwick. SO happy with my purchase! Shipping was fast and the price was great.
