What does MULLEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A smooth, gently curved bar used as the mouthpiece of certain horse bits, or the headstall it is fitted to.
A mullen mouthpiece has a single unbroken curve rather than a joint in the middle, so it presses evenly across the tongue and bars of a horse instead of pinching at a hinge. Riders often choose a mullen bit for a young or sensitive horse because the mild, steady pressure feels less severe than a jointed mouthpiece. Older writing also uses mullen for the headstall or bridle that holds such a bit in place on the head of the horse. This equestrian sense of mullen is separate from an old variant spelling of mullein, the tall yellow-flowered plant.
