MYLER BITS HBT SHANK MB04

Myler Bits HBT Shank MB04 is a western bit with a slight port and mild leverage. It is made with a mild length of round metal slightly curved back, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment. The entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece. The purchase is slightly angled away from the horse to avoid rubbing.

It is used in Western riding and has an indirect action which is designed to be used with a curb strap or chain.

The HBT is well suited to trail riding as the shorter shank makes grazing easier.

Myler Bit Level 2

Stainless Steel 5" HBT Shank with Sweet Iron Low Port Comfort Snaffle (MB 04, Level 2) 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 level 2 MB04 mouthpiece will rotate on the tongue and apply tongue pressure; however it has a slight port that allows the horse to swallow when he is moving forward and relaxed. The barrel distributes the pressure kindly on the tongue. The MB04 provides an excellent transition from level one to level two.
