Stainless Steel 7" Flat Shank with Sweet Iron Mullen Triple Barrel (MB 32-, Level 2) Copper Inlay Mouth 5" This mouthpiece is made of polished Sweet Iron which naturally oxidizes or rusts. Harmless to horse, it has a sweet taste and promotes salivation.
The Myler Flat Shank with a Mullen Triple Barrel (MB 32-3, Level 2) uses the combination of a fixed cheek and fixed rein to apply pressure to the mouth, chin, and poll. The innovative mouthpiece design includes three barrels that allow tongue relief when relaxed, but provide excellent control by becoming a solid bar like a traditional mullen when reins are engaged.
Key Benefits
- Level Up: Myler's unique "level" system means there's a bit for your horse no matter their training. Level 2 mouthpieces generally give more relief on the tongue and the curved mouthpiece collapses into a "U" shape to avoid pinching of the lips and bars. Ideal for a horse trained on the basics and working toward more bit freedom.
- The Basics: Stainless-steel 7" cheek. Sweet iron mouthpiece with copper inlay for salivation. Available in two sizes.
- Flat Shank: Shank is curved back toward the horse with a flat-top purchase and rein ring and a fixed mouthpiece. Indirect (curb) rein action designed to be used with a curb strap, which attaches to the purchase. The entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece, with a purchase that is angled away from the cheek to prevent rubbing.
- Triple Barrel Mullen (MB 32-3): Alternative to a classic mullen. Flexible and forgiving when relaxed, solid with tongue pressure when engaged. The curved bar rotates across the bars and lips down on to the tongue, applying pressure across the entire surface of the tongue.
- Independent Swivel Cheek: The purchase of the cheekpiece is able to move independently of the shank, preventing it from poking or rubbing the horse’s cheek when the reins are engaged.
- Independent Side Movement: Entire shank moves independently from the mouthpiece which means more control and clearer communication between you and your horse.
