This bit features 6 3/4" seven shank cheeks and a Myler MB 43LP narrow ported mouth. This is a Myler level 2-3 bit.
The MB 43LP does not rotate on to 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 1/4" high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure. It is the mildest of the Level 2-3 mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure, just one step below a Level 3 mouthpiece. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
The Black Steel Seven Shank is a length of round black steel in a 7 curve, with a ring purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece is fixed to the cheek with a decorative stack. The entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece. The purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to avoid rubbing.

- Black Steel seven shank
