Myler Bits Black 7 Shank MB33
The Myler Bits Black 7 Shank MB33 is one of the western bits for horses trained to work off the leg and seat as well as the hands. It offers such a high degree of tongue relief, the horse should be a trust worthy guy that needs little correction. This is a bit for a horse you consider finished in his discipline, and it's good looking enough to hang on your show bridle.
The center barrel provides independent side movement. Each shank moves independently from the other, encouraging laterally flexion when the rein is engaged on each side. The Myler MB33 mouthpiece is the mildest in terms of tongue pressure. The generously wide port allows room for the tongue to pass under the bit so the horse can swallow easily. This mouthpiece works primarily off the bars, lips, chin and poll.
