MYLER BITS FLAT SHANK MB32-3

The Myler Bits Flat Shank MB32-3 has three rollers that create a flexible bar for a calming effect on a nervous or fidgety horse. It is used in Western riding. It is a 7" length of flat metal curved slightly back towards the horse with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment and the entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece. The purchase is angled away from the horse to prevent rubbing. It has an indirect rein action and is designed to be used with a curb strap.

Myler Bit Level 2

Stainless Steel 7" Flat Shank with Sweet Iron Mullen Triple Barrel (MB 32-3, Level 2) Copper Inlay Mouth 5"

This mouthpiece is made of polished Sweet Iron which naturally oxidizes or rusts. Harmless to horses, it has a sweet taste and promotes salivation.

The MB32-3 is the Myler alternative to a traditional mullen mouthpiece. The three barrels turn the typical solid bar into a flexible bar which allows the horse to elevate his tongue and swallow more easily under the bit. When the reins are engaged the 32-3 becomes a solid bar but with an exaggerated curve. This curve applies pressure across the entire surface of the tongue. The flexibility makes it forgiving and comforting when relaxed but offers the rider control when engaged.
