4.75" Myler Flat Shank Comfort Mullen Curb

Description

4.75" Myler Level 1/2 flat shank, low port mullen mouth curb. Sweet iron mouth, which rusts to provide a pleasant taste for your horse. In very good used condition, just starting to rust. MB-02 Wide Barrel Comfort  Mullen mouth, perfect for a horse who needs a more stable bit. Great, smaller bit option in a hard to find size! This hardly used bit is here for far less!
*****Please note Myler bits are to be measured with the shanks straight, not flared out. Will measure larger if shanks are not straight. This one is a true 4.75”.
Per Myler:
The MB 02 is the Myler alternative to the traditional French link or lozenge mouthpiece commonly used in snaffle bits. The MB 02 rotates onto the tongue, applying tongue pressure, but because the mouthpiece is curved, it wraps around the bars and lips instead of pinching. The barrel in the center applies approximately the same pressure on the tongue as a traditional three-piece mouthpiece, however, the barrel distributes the pressure more kindly and creates Independent Side Movement™. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.

Sweet Iron Mouthpiece
Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
Copper Inlay
Notes: Popular with riders who are more comfortable with a traditional design, but we recommend that you try the MB 32-3 to get the full benefit of Myler features. For a ported mullen style offering more tongue relief, see the MB 06 or MB 36.
The 7" Flat Shank is stainless steel and curved slightly back towards the horse, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment. The Flat Shank has the patented Independent Swivel Cheek, where the purchase, mouthpiece and shank all move independently of each other. The purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to avoid rubbing. It has an indirect (curb) rein action designed to be used with a curb strap which attaches to the purchase. The flat shank uses the combination of the fixed cheek and fixed rein to apply pressure to the mouth, chin and poll.
