This bit features 5 1/2" MBL short shank cheeks and a Myler MB 16PB wide ported mouth. This is Myler level 3 bit.
The MB 16PB has a generously wide and moderately high port that allows plenty of room for the horses tongue to pass under the bit, more so than the MB 33. Although the port is 1 7/8", its generous width makes the mouthpiece sit very low in the mouth, minimizing the likelihood of any palate pressure. 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. The MBT has the patented Independent Swivel Cheek, where the purchase, mouthpiece, and shank all move independently of each other.
Features:
- 5 1/2" MBL short shank
- Stainless steel cheeks
