Myler MB 27 Correctional Curb Horse Bit - 5" Mouth Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay, Level 2-3 Mouthpiece, 2-Inch Port

Achieve the ultimate level of collection and refinement with a bit designed to translate your lightest cues into precise, harmonious action. The Myler MB 27 Correctional Curb Bit combines the salivation-inducing benefits of sweet iron with a sophisticated mouthpiece that encourages a soft, responsive mouth in advanced equine partners.

Engineered for the "finishing" stage of training, this Level 2-3 bit bridges the gap between basic control and elite performance. The Myler system focuses on tongue relief and clear communication, utilizing high-quality stainless steel and intentional oxidation to ensure your horse remains comfortable, relaxed, and focused on your aids during rigorous Western performance work.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: Naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste that stimulates salivation and promotes a supple, accepting mouth.
• Correctional MB 27 Design: Features a 2-inch port that collapses onto the bars and lips while rotating onto the tongue for nuanced "two-point" pressure.
• Level 2-3 Performance: Specifically intended for horses with a solid foundation who require more direct communication to correct resistance or achieve higher collection.
• 7-Inch Stainless Steel Flat Shank: Provides moderate leverage and indirect curb action, featuring an Independent Swivel Cheek to minimize rubbing and enhance comfort.
• Precision Sizing Requirements: Myler bits typically run 1/8" to 1/4" large; ensure a 1/8" to 1/4" gap of the mouthpiece is visible on each side of the lips to prevent pinching during the correctional collapse.
• Durable Construction: Crafted with premium materials to withstand daily training and maintain consistent performance season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for the Myler MB 27?
A: Myler bits are designed to run slightly large (approximately 1/8" to 1/4" over standard sizing). For the correctional action to function correctly without pinching the cheeks, you should see a small gap of the mouthpiece on either side of the horse's mouth. If your horse is between sizes, we generally recommend sizing down.

Q: What is the benefit of the "Correctional" movement compared to a fixed port?
A: Unlike a rigid bit, the MB 27 collapses onto the outer lips and bars while rotating onto the tongue. This "two-point" pressure allows for very precise, nuanced cues for collection and stopping, making it an excellent tool for refining a horse that has become heavy or resistant in milder bits.

Q: Is this bit legal for Western show disciplines?
A: The MB 27 is a staple in Western disciplines like Reining, Western Pleasure, and Barrel Racing. However, because it features a 2-inch port and specific shank leverage, we recommend verifying your specific association’s (such as AQHA or NRHA) current equipment rules regarding port height and shank length before competing.
