Myler MBB Black Flat Shank Bit with Stainless Steel Dots - Level 3 (33) - 5" Sweet Iron Mouth

Refine Your Communication with the Myler MBB Black Flat Shank MB 33

When your horse has put in the miles and is responding to the lightest touch, they deserve a bit that rewards that softness. The Myler MBB Black Flat Shank with the MB 33 mouthpiece is designed specifically for the finished horse that has graduated through the levels and is ready for maximum tongue relief. From our barn to yours, we know that finding that perfect balance of control and comfort is key to a successful partnership in the arena.

This Level 3 bit features a 1.5-inch medium-wide ported barrel, allowing the tongue to pass comfortably underneath. It’s about giving your horse the freedom to perform complex maneuvers without unnecessary pressure. The black flat shanks are accented with stainless steel dots, offering a classic Western look that is built for the long haul, whether you are in the show ring or out on the trail.

Why the MB 33 Mouthpiece Stands Out

• Maximum Tongue Relief: The Level 3 MB 33 mouthpiece features a 1.5-inch port that allows the tongue to pass almost completely underneath, making it the mildest option for horses that are light in the hand.
• Independent Side Movement: The internal barrel design allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving you the ability to lift a shoulder or give precise, isolated cues without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.
• Encourages a Soft Mouth: Crafted from sweet iron with copper inlays, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste that stimulates salivation and keeps your horse relaxed and responsive.
• Moderate Leverage and Style: The 6 ¾-inch black flat shanks provide the necessary leverage for finished horses while the stainless steel dots provide a professional, polished look.
• Standard Versatile Fit: The 5-inch mouthpiece width is the industry standard, making it a reliable fit for most Quarter Horses, Arabians, and refined Thoroughbreds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What level is the Myler MB 33 mouthpiece?

The Myler MB 33 is a Level 3 mouthpiece, which is the mildest in the Myler system. It is designed for finished horses with a solid disposition that require very little tongue pressure and work primarily off the rider's seat and leg.

Q: Will the sweet iron mouthpiece rust?

Yes, the sweet iron on the Myler MBB Black Flat Shank is designed to oxidize, or rust, over time. This is a desirable feature in the equestrian world as it creates a sweet taste that encourages salivation and a more accepting, softer mouth.

Q: Is this bit legal for Western showing?

While this bit is a staple for reining, ranch riding, and western pleasure, we always recommend checking your specific association's rulebook (such as AQHA or NRHA) to ensure the port height and shank design meet current competition standards for your class.
