Mouth Piece (for the horse)Design: Mouthpiece with upward curve and jointed barrel in center.  Entire mouthpiece is tilted forward. Function: When the horse is not relaxed at the poll, this unique mouthpiece restricts the tongue and puts downward pressure on top of the bars.  Once the horse relaxes at the poll, the mouthpiece releases the tongue and works off the bars.  Each side of the mouthpiece moves independently.  Turns into solid mouthpiece when asking for a stop.  Some tongue relief offered by port. Level: Two-Three Usage/Solution for: A mild bit, the Myler Forward Tilt Ported Barrel mouthpiece works well with intermediate and finished horses. With independent side movement, it is good for bending, lifting the horse that gets behind the bridle or encouraging a horse to relax at the poll.  Works well for stopping and for horses which need a lot of tongue relief. Cheek piece (for the rider) A "D" shaped ring with fixed attachment of the mouthpiece and slots at top and bottom of ring for headstall and rein attachment.  Small hole at top of ring for curb chain hooks. Leverage action when pressure is exerted on the  reins, the mouthpiece rolls downward and backward in the mouth and pressure is applied to the poll via the headstall.  When rein is released, keeps mouthpiece upright, instead of resting on the tongue.  Allows rider to use less pressure than traditional ring bit.  Very encouraging for horse to relax at poll.  Side of Eggbutt will not pull through mouth and does not pinch. Please Note:  There may be a wait of up to 6 weeks on this bit. Fitting Bits: 1. Remove drop or flash noseband. With Combinations also remove the Caveson. 2. The bit should sit so that only 1 soft wrinkle appears in the corners of the mouth. 3. There should be about 1/2cm each side of the bit (Not too snug) 4. Bits with Hooks – the reins and cheekpieces of the bridle should pass through the hooks on the outside of the ring so that the leather is not against the face. 5. Attaching curb chains – the curb chains for the bits with hooks sit higher than on a double bridle, Pelham etc. (they sit roughly where the caveson would be). The chain should be initially adjusted so that two fingers can be inserted in the space. Some horses work better if the chain is tighter than this. 6. Combination bits – The noseband of the combination should be adjusted tight enough so that it sits horizontal and will not drop down and affect the breathing. Care should be taken to check this from time to time as the leather will stretch. There should be enough slack so that the noseband will release when the rider gives the hand.
