Myler MB 47PB Sweet Iron Correctional Ported Barrel HBT Shank Horse Bit with Copper Inlay - Level 2-3

Stop struggling with a horse that leans on the bit or ignores your cues and transform your communication with refined, professional-grade control. The Myler MB 47PB is the ultimate transition tool for Level 2-3 horses, engineered to encourage a soft, relaxed poll and a more responsive, harmonious ride.

Expertly crafted for Western "tune-ups" in disciplines like Trail, Reining, and Western Pleasure, this bit bridges the gap between a direct-action snaffle and a high-leverage curb. The mouthpiece features Myler’s signature Sweet Iron construction with copper inlays, designed to oxidize over time to create a pleasant taste that promotes salivation and a "soft" mouth in horses that are otherwise dry or resistant.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Myler Level 2-3 Design: Specifically engineered for horses with a basic understanding of bit pressure who need gentle guidance toward collection and consistent contact.
• Correctional Ported Barrel (MB 47PB): Features a 1⅞" port that offers significant tongue relief while applying moderate palate pressure to encourage the horse to break at the poll and soften the jaw.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Allows the rider to give isolated cues to one side of the mouth, preventing the "nutcracker" effect and providing clearer communication for lateral flexion.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: Naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste that encourages salivation, ensuring a more accepting and responsive mouth.
• HBT Shank Design: Provides precise, moderate leverage and direct control, allowing for clear signals during stops and collection without the harshness of traditional curbs.
• Ergonomic Curve: Designed to follow the natural contours of the horse's mouth, reducing pinching and maximizing comfort when sized correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct "Myler Fit" for my horse?
A: Because of the ergonomic curve, these bits often feel tighter than traditional flat bits. We recommend measuring wide to ensure 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit is visible on each side of the horse's lips to prevent the shanks from pinching the cheeks.

Q: How does the "Correctional" action help my horse relax?
A: When both reins are engaged, the bit applies moderate palate pressure that encourages the horse to soften; the moment the horse complies, the bit releases into a "comfort zone" of tongue relief, instantly rewarding the horse for its relaxation and collection.
