This bit features a 5.5" stainless steel shank with a MB 43MP medium ported mouthpiece. This is a Myler level 2-3 bit.
The MB 43MP does not rotate onto the tongue but instead sits solidly across the bars and lips of the horses mouth. The port is narrower than a Level 3 mouthpiece but still offers room for the horses tongue to pass under the bit. Because the port is narrow, when the reins are engaged, the horse will feel a slight pressure on the outside edges of the tongue a gentle reminder rather than a strong reprimand. The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 " high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure. The MB 43MP is the mildest of the Level Two-Three mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure, just one step below a Level 3 mouthpiece. Sweet Iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
Features:
- 5 1/2" shank
