MYLER BITS FLAT SHANK MB36

Myler Bits Flat Shank MB36 has a low port that is titled forward. It provides tongue relief until the reins are applied. It is used in Western riding. It is a 7" length of flat metal curved slightly back towards the horse with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment and the entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece. The purchase is angled away from the horse to prevent rubbing. It has an indirect rein action and is designed to be used with a curb strap.

Myler Bit Level 2-3

Stainless Steel 7" Flat Shank with Sweet Iron Forward Tilt Ported Barrel (MB 36, Level 2-3) Copper Inlay Mouth.

This mouthpiece is made of polished Sweet Iron which naturally oxidizes or rusts. Harmless to horses, it has a sweet taste and promotes salivation.

The Myler MB36 is a mullen that has a low port tilted forward at a 45 degree angle. This offers more tongue relief until the reins are engaged. In general the MB36 with its low port offers less tongue relief than the other Level 2-3 mouthpieces. For more tongue relief and less tongue pressure, see the MB43LP.
