Myler Embossed 7 1/2" Shank Western Bit with Level 3 (98) Mouthpiece - 5" Mouth

Rewarding the Finished Performance Horse

When your horse has put in the miles and reached that 'finished' state, they deserve a bit that rewards their responsiveness. The Myler Embossed 7 1/2" Shank with MB 98 Mouthpiece is designed specifically for the performance horse that stays soft, responds to seat and leg cues, and carries itself with minimal contact. By offering maximum tongue relief, this bit provides a clear 'reward' for a horse that maintains a soft frame.

Crafted with the signature Myler attention to detail, this Level 3 bit features a 1 5/8" Narrow Medium Port. This design allows the tongue to pass underneath comfortably, shifting pressure to the bars and poll only when necessary. It’s the perfect tool for the rider who wants to refine communication without over-bitting a sensitive, well-trained partner.

Key Benefits for the Show Ring

• Maximum Tongue Relief: The MB 98 Level 3 mouthpiece features a high port that offers the most tongue room in the Myler system, rewarding your horse for staying soft.
• Promotes a Moist Mouth: The sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes over time, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and keeps your horse relaxed in the jaw.
• Show-Ready Aesthetics: The 7 1/2" stainless steel shanks feature beautiful floral embossing, making it a standout choice for Western performance and show disciplines.
• Independent Side Movement: Like all Myler bits, this design allows for independent side movement, giving you the ability to lift a shoulder or give precise lateral cues.
• Durable Construction: Built for the long haul, the stainless steel shanks are corrosion-resistant and designed to withstand the rigors of daily training and heavy competition schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does the 5" Myler bit feel slightly larger than my other bits?

Myler bits are intentionally manufactured 1/8" to 1/4" larger than their stated size. This ensures the mouthpiece protrudes slightly on both sides, preventing the curved bars from pinching your horse’s lips.

Q: What makes the MB 98 a 'Level 3' mouthpiece?

The Level 3 designation means this Myler Embossed 7 1/2" Shank is intended for finished horses with a solid disposition. It provides maximum tongue relief and uses more bar and poll pressure to communicate with a horse that is already light in the bridle.

Q: Is the floral embossing durable?

Yes, the embossing is deeply engraved into the high-quality stainless steel shanks, ensuring it maintains its professional look through years of use in the show ring.
