Myler HBT Shank Bit W/ Sweet Iron Ported Barrel – Level 3

The Myler HBT Shank Bit W/ Sweet Iron Ported Barrel features the MB 33 mouthpiece. The MB 33 is the mildest Myler mouthpiece in terms of tongue pressure. The generously wide port allows room for the tongue to pass almost completely under the bit. Because this mouthpiece does not rotate onto the tongue and the port is wide, it applies little to no tongue pressure working primarily off the lips and bars. The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 ½” high so it will apply little to no palate pressure. The MB 33 offers a high degree of tongue relief. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation. The 5″ HBT shank is stainless steel and slightly curved back, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment. The HBT 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 which attaches to the purchase. The HBT shank uses the combination of the fixed cheek and fixed rein to apply pressure to the mouth, chin, and poll. The HBT is well suited to trail riding as the shorter shank makes grazing easier for the horse. Indirect action with mild leverage. Myler Level 3.
