Myler 5 1/2" MBL Short Shank Bit with MB 06 Mullen Low Ported Barrel

The Myler Stainless Steel 5 1/2" MBL Short Shank Bit with MB 06 Mullen Low Ported Barrel is a Level 2-3 Western bit designed to provide mild leverage, comfort, and a step up in tongue relief from Level 2 mouthpieces.

The MB 06 is Myler’s alternative to a traditional mullen mouthpiece, featuring a wide low port that allows the horse’s tongue to pass under the bit more comfortably. The ¾" port gives the tongue enough room to elevate slightly and swallow, while remaining low enough to apply little to no palate pressure. When the reins are engaged, the MB 06 works primarily off the bars and lips.

The Sweet Iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to encourage salivation and acceptance. Its curved design helps prevent pinching of the lips and bars, while the copper inlay promotes responsiveness.

The 5 1/2" stainless steel MBL short shank is curved slightly back toward the horse and features a teardrop purchase and rein ring. The mouthpiece attaches loosely to the cheek with a small decorative stack that allows ⅛" of slide, offering additional tongue relief. The patented Independent Swivel Cheek allows the purchase, mouthpiece, and shank to move independently for improved comfort and communication.

Designed for indirect curb rein action, this bit should be used with a curb strap attached to the purchase and is recommended for use with ported mouthpieces.
