Eggbutt with Hooks and Correctional Ported Barrel Used - Myler

The eggbutt hooks is a truly unique Myler mouthpiece. This mouthpiece is a correctional mouthpiece, a ported mouthpiece that collapses onto the outer lip and bars and rotates onto the tongue. The port has a tiered design; the base is generously wide with rounded corners, offering virtually the same comfort and tongue relief of a Level 3 mouthpiece, while the top is narrower and has pronounced corners. If the horse is relaxed, the tongue can pass comfortably under the wide opening. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece collapses onto the bars and lips and rotates onto the tongue. The pronounced corners of the port apply two points of pressure on the tongue for increased control. The result is a mouthpiece that offers maximum tongue relief for the horse but very good control for the rider. The unique design and the generous tongue relief of the eggbutt make it the only correctional that can be used long-term, possibly even as a horse’s finishing bit.

Stainless steel: Stainless steel is the benchmark alloy. Highly resistant, it is composed of iron, chromium, and nickel. It is neutral in taste and has no properties that help the horse to salivate. It is resistant to bites from the horse and prevents friction against the horse's mucous membranes. Due to their nature, stainless steel bits are very strong and do not wear out easily with use.
