Myler MB 06 Mullen Barrel Low Port Snaffle Bit HBT Shank - 5" Mouth, Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay, Level 2-3

Tongue Room With a Low Ported Mullen Barrel

Best for: Riders of horses past the basics looking for a Level 2-3 shank bit that gives the tongue room to swallow without palate pressure.

The Myler MB 06 Mullen Barrel Low Port Snaffle Bit pairs Myler's MB 06 mouthpiece with a 5" stainless steel HBT shank, in a 5" mouth. Myler rates the MB 06 as Level 2-3.

The MB 06 is a curved sweet iron mullen with a wide, low port about 3/4" high and a copper inlay. The port gives the tongue room to rise slightly and swallow but is too low to create palate pressure, so rein pressure falls mainly on the bars and lips. The curve keeps it from pinching the lips and bars.

Sweet iron oxidizes and encourages salivation. The HBT is a short shank with indirect action and mild leverage, the MB 06 features Independent Side Movement, and the shorter shank makes grazing easier on the trail.

Why Riders Choose the Myler MB 06

• Low port — a wide 3/4" port gives the tongue room to swallow.
• No palate pressure — the port is too low to reach the palate.
• Curved mouthpiece — does not pinch the lips and bars.
• Sweet iron with copper inlay — oxidizes and encourages salivation.
• Short HBT shank — mild leverage and easier grazing on the trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the low port work?

The Myler MB 06 Mullen Barrel Low Port bit has a wide port about 3/4" high. It lets the tongue rise slightly and swallow, and pressure falls mainly on the bars and lips.

Q: What does Level 2-3 mean?

Myler groups mouthpieces by level. A Level 1 mouthpiece like the MB 03 rotates onto the tongue, while the Level 2-3 MB 06 puts pressure mainly on the bars and lips.

Q: Will the sweet iron rust?

Yes. Sweet iron oxidizes with use, which encourages salivation.
