Myler Black Steel Seven Shank Bit

Black Steel 7" Seven Shank, MB 41PB Correctional Ported Barrel, Level 2-3

The MB 41PB is a truly unique Myler mouthpiece. This mouthpiece is a correctional mouthpiece, a ported mouthpiece that collapses on to the outer lip and bars, and rotates on to the tongue. The port has a tiered design; the base is generously wide with rounded corners, offering virtually the same comfort and tongue relief of a Level 3 mouthpiece, while the top is narrower and has pronounced corners. If the horse is relaxed, the tongue can pass comfortably under the wide opening. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece collapses on to the bars and lips and rotates on to the tongue. The pronounced corners of the port apply two points of pressure on the tongue for increased control. The result is a mouthpiece that offers maximum tongue relief for the horse, but very good control for the rider. The unique design and the generous tongue relief of the MB 41PB make it the only correctional that can be used long term, possibly even as a horses finishing bit. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.

The Black Steel Seven Shank is a length of round black steel in a 7 curve, with a ring purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece is fixed to the cheek with a decorative stack. The entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece. The purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to avoid rubbing.
