About Mullen Mouth Eggbutt Bits
The Mullen mouth bits are a very soft bit on the horse, the curved mouthpiece of this bit avoids the nutcracker action of jointed bits and is very soft on the centre of the horse's mouth. They are simple and direct and easy to use.
Some horses prefer a straight bar in their mouth rather than a jointed snaffle bit. If your horse is a bit uncomfortable with a jointed snaffle these can often be worth a try.
About Straight-bar and Mullen mouth bits
What it is: The mouthpiece is a straight bar of material, without any joints or ports. In the mullen mouth, the bar has a slight bow to it, curving gently to allow some room for the tongue.
Action: The mullen mouth and straight bar are fairly similar in action, placing pressure on the tongue, lips, and bars. The mullen provides extra space for the tongue, instead of constantly pushing into it, resulting in more tongue relief, and making it more comfortable, but the mullen does not have as high of a port as a curb, thus does not offer full tongue relief. This bit is generally considered a very mild mouthpiece, although this varies according to the type of bit leverage (snaffle, pelham or curb), and improper use may make it harsh, since the majority of the bit pressure will be applied on the sensitive tongue.
