This bit features 7" flat shank cheeks and a Myler MB 29 correctional cathedral port mouth. This is a Myler level 2-3 bit.
The MB 29 is a traditional correctional mouthpiece, which has a ported mouthpiece that collapses onto the outer lip and bars and rotates onto the tongue. The port itself is 1.5" high, offering room for the horses tongue to pass under the bit. The flat plate above the port is 1.25" high and .75" wide and tilts back rather than sitting straight up. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece collapses and applies two points of pressure on the tongue while the flat plate tips forward and applies pressure to the palate. The pressure on the palate is distributed across the surface of the plate. Sweet Iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
The 7" Flat Shank is stainless steel and curved slightly back towards the horse, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment. The Flat Shank has the patented Independent Swivel Cheek, where the purchase, mouthpiece, and shank all move independently of each other. The purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to avoid rubbing. It has an indirect (curb) rein action designed to be used with a curb strap that attaches to the purchase. The flat shank uses the combination of the fixed cheek and fixed rein to apply pressure to the mouth, chin, and poll.
