Myler Stainless Steel Eggbutt with Hooks
MB 43LP Narrow Low Ported Barrel
Level 2-3
The MB 43LP does not rotate on to the tongue, but instead sits solidly across the bars and lips of the horse’s mouth. The port is narrower
than a Level 3 mouthpiece, but still offers room for the horse’s tongue to pass under the bit. Because the port is narrow, when the reins
are engaged, the horse will feel a slight pressure on the outside edges of the tongue — a gentle reminder rather than a strong reprimand.
The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 ¼" high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure. It is the mildest of the Level 2-3 mouthpieces
in terms of tongue pressure, just one step below a Level 3 mouthpiece.
- Independent Side Movement
- Stainless Steel mouthpiece
- Curved Mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
- Copper Inlay
Notes: For more tongue relief and the Level 3 version of this mouthpiece, see the MB 33. For a correctional mouthpiece, see the 41PB. For
more tongue pressure, see the MB 27LP, MB 27PB or the MB 41PB.
Eggbutt with Hooks: The addition of the hooks to the cheek make this a more versatile version of the standard eggbutt. 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
Degree of Leverage: Little to no leverage when the hooks are used.
