Key Features & Specifications:

• Correctional MB 27PB Mouthpiece: Features a narrow 1 ¼” port that offers essential tongue relief while applying two concentrated pressure points for precise, quick corrections.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: Naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste, actively encouraging salivation and a softer, more accepting mouth.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling riders to isolate cues for better bending, balancing, and lifting the shoulder.
• Seven Shank Design: Provides mild-to-moderate leverage with a 7” shank length, perfect for Western riders seeking refined control and consistent head carriage.
• Standard 5” Mouthpiece Width: Sized to fit most average-sized horses comfortably while ensuring the correctional barrel sits correctly on the tongue.
• Durable Black Steel Finish: Built for longevity, the black steel shanks are designed to gracefully develop a classic antique brown patina over time.
• Myler Level 2–3 Suitability: Specifically engineered for horses progressing beyond basic snaffle training or those requiring re-schooling with refined pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse just starting under saddle?
A: No, this is a Myler Level 2-3 bit designed for horses with a solid foundation. It is best suited for horses that have moved beyond a basic snaffle and require more refined communication or those being re-schooled to respect the bit.

Q: Why is the bit changing color or "rusting"?
A: This is a desired feature of Sweet Iron and Black Steel. The oxidation process is harmless and creates a sweet taste that horses prefer, which promotes a relaxed jaw and significantly better bit acceptance.

Q: How does the Independent Side Movement (ISM) benefit my training?
A: ISM allows you to move one side of the bit without affecting the other. This is crucial for lateral work, as it lets you give clear signals to lift a specific shoulder or flex through a turn without confusing the horse with bilateral pressure.
