This bit features 7" flat shanks and a Myler MB 43HP narrow high ported barrel. This is Myler level 2-3.
The MB 43HP 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 1 7/8" high, so it applies some palate pressure. 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.

- 7" flat shank
