Myler MB 32 Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel Curb Bit - 5" Mouth, 7" Flat Shank, Copper Inlay, Level 2

Elevate your communication and eliminate resistance with a bit designed to reward relaxation and reward your horse's progress. The Myler MB 32 Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel Curb Bit provides the perfect transitional solution for horses ready to move beyond a basic snaffle into refined collection and responsiveness.

Engineered with Myler’s signature attention to equine anatomy, this Level 2 bit features a polished Sweet Iron mouthpiece that naturally oxidizes to encourage salivation and a softer, more accepting jaw. The 7-inch stainless steel flat shanks provide stable leverage and poll pressure, while the integrated copper inlays and Independent Side Movement (ISM) technology ensure your signals are clear, precise, and never abrasive.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 2 Mouthpiece: Ideal for horses with foundational training that are ready for more nuanced signals and a balanced combination of tongue relief and bar pressure.
• Triple Barrel Mullen Design: The MB 32 mouthpiece remains flexible and forgiving when the horse is relaxed but transforms into a solid, curved bar for consistent control when the reins are engaged.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling the rider to lift a single shoulder or signal for a bend without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that stimulates salivation and encourages the horse to stay soft and "wet" in the mouth.
• 7-Inch Stainless Steel Flat Shanks: Provides elegant stability and subtle leverage, distributing pressure evenly across the bars, chin groove, and poll to avoid the harsh "nutcracker" effect.
• Ergonomic 5-Inch Fit: Specifically designed to sit wider than traditional bits; the 5" width accommodates the ergonomic curve to prevent pinching and ensure the ISM functions perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know if the 5-inch size is right for my horse?
A: Myler bits are designed to sit 1/8" to 1/4" wider than traditional bits. For this 5" bit to function correctly, you should see a small amount of the mouthpiece visible on each side of the lips to ensure the Independent Side Movement doesn't pinch the cheeks.

Q: Why is the mouthpiece starting to change color or rust?
A: This is a premium feature of Sweet Iron! The oxidation process creates a sweet taste that horses love, which promotes salivation and a more relaxed jaw. Simply wipe the bit after use; the stainless steel shanks will remain rust-free.

Q: Is this bit legal for Western disciplines?
A: The MB 32 is a staple for Western training, Trail, and Pleasure riding. While it is excellent for refining collection, always check your specific association’s rulebook (AQHA, NRHA, etc.) for the most current bit requirements for your specific class.
