MYLER EGGBUTT MB36

NOTE: SPECIAL ORDER, PLEASE ENQUIRE FOR AN ETA.

Stainless Steel Eggbutt with Hooks
MB 36 Mullen Forward Tilt Low Ported Barrel
Level 2-3

The MB 36 is a Myler alternative to the traditional mullen, but it has a wide low port that allows the tongue to pass under it comfortably. The port is 1" high, and tilted forward at a 45º angle, allowing just enough room for the horse’s tongue to elevate slightly and swallow, but not high enough for palate pressure. When the reins are engaged, the MB 36 applies pressure primarily to the bars and lip, but also applies tongue pressure because of the forward tilt.

• Independent Side Movement
• Stainless steel mouthpiece
• Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips or bars
• Copper Inlay

The addition of the hooks to the cheek make this a more versatile version of the eggbutt without hooks. 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 (if available). 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 ⅝" bridle leather.

Size: 3 ½" rounded ring

Action: Direct rein action when rein hook is not used. Indirect rein action when rein is fixed on rein hook.

Discipline: English or Western
