This bit features 5.5in short shank cheeks and a Myler MB 36 forward tilt ported barrel mullen mouth. This is a Myler Level 2-3 bit.
The MB 36 is a Myler alternative to the traditional mullen, but it has a wide low port that allows the tongue to pass under it comfortably. The port is 1" high and tilted forward at a 45 angle, allowing just enough room for the horses tongue to elevate slightly and swallow but not high enough for palate pressure. When the reins are engaged, the MB 36 applies pressure primarily to the bars and lip but also applies tongue pressure because of the forward tilt. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
The MBL Shank is a length of flat stainless steel curved slightly back towards the horse, with a teardrop purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece attaches loosely to the cheek with a small decorative stack that allows " of slide, just enough to allow more tongue relief. The purchase is angled slightly away from the cheek to avoid rubbing.
