MYLER BITS HBT SHANK MB41PB

The Myler Bits HBT Shank MB41PB is a correctional bit. It is a 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 ( 5") makes grazing easier.

Myler Bit Level 2-3

Size - 5"

Stainless Steel 5" HBT Shank with Sweet Iron Correctional Ported Barrel (MB 41PB, 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 41PB is a unique Myler mouthpiece. It is a correctional ported mouthpiece that collapses on to the outer lip and bars and rotates on the tongue. The port has a staggered design that is wide at the base with rounded corners which offers the same comfort and tongue relief of a Level Three mouthpiece. The top of the port is narrower with pronounced corners. If the horse is relaxed, the tongue can pass comfortably under the wider opening. When the reins are engaged the mouthpiece collapses on to the bars and lips and rotates on to the tongue for increased control.

A Myler Level Two-Three horse could:

Have basic training and a solid disposition and good self control
Have advanced training but with a disposition that requires more control Be overly bold, timid, excitable or have a tendency to spook
Be training in a discipline that requires tongue relief tempered with precise control
Be ridden in a Level Two bit and showing resistance
