For serious equestrians looking for precision in their horse's mouth, this Myler Level 3 Eggbutt bit is some serious hardware! It's crafted from stainless steel with a ported barrel design and those distinctive hooks that Myler bits are known for. The copper inlay in the mouthpiece encourages salivation and acceptance - horses tend to really like the taste and feel of copper. The eggbutt design is great because it prevents pinching at the corners of the mouth while providing stable communication. This is a Level 3 in Myler's system, which means it's designed for horses needing more specific communication and riders with independent hands. The ported barrel allows for tongue relief while maintaining clear signals. At 5 inches wide, it's important to make sure this fits your horse properly - bit fit is everything! The stainless steel construction ensures durability and easy cleaning. This isn't a beginner's bit - it's for experienced riders who understand how to use the specific pressure points and communication that Myler bits provide. If you're dealing with a horse that needs more refined cues or has specific mouth issues, this bit could be exactly what you're looking for to improve your communication and your horse's comfort.
