MYLER BITS HBT SHANK MB33

The Myler Bits HBT Shank MB33 has a generous wide port that allows plenty of room for the horse's tongue, making it easy to swallow. It works primarily off the lips, bars, chin and poll. It is made of a length of round metal slightly curved back, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment. The entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece. The purchase is slightly angled away from the horse to avoid rubbing.

It is used in Western riding and has an indirect action which is designed to be used with a curb strap or chain.

The HBT is well suited to trail riding as the shorter shank makes grazing easier.
