When your horse is relaxed, the wide base of the port and rounded corners offer significant tongue relief, similar to a Myler Level 3 bit. However, upon rein engagement, the mouthpiece collapses onto the bars and lips and rotates onto the tongue, utilizing pronounced corners to apply two points of pressure for enhanced, precise control. This unique design is often considered a correctional bit that can be used long-term, potentially serving as a horse's finishing bit, offering both comfort and precise communication.What are the key features of the MBT Shank, particularly its Independent Swivel Cheek?The MBT shank is a 5 1/2" stainless steel flat shank designed for mild, indirect curb rein action, intended for use with a curb strap. A significant feature is its patented Independent Swivel Cheek, which allows the purchase, mouthpiece, and shank to move independently of each other. This independent movement prevents the bit from pressing directly into the horse's face, delivering a clearer, more precise signal. The purchase is also slightly angled away from the cheek to prevent rubbing.How do the mouthpiece materials encourage horse acceptance?The mouthpiece is crafted from polished sweet iron, which naturally oxidizes (rusts) when exposed to moisture. This oxidation is harmless to horses and produces a sweet taste that encourages salivation, promoting a softer and more accepting mouth. A copper inlay further enhances this palatability, making the bit more appealing to your horse.What Myler Level is this bit, and what type of horse is it best suited for?This bit is classified as a Myler Level 2-3, indicating it's suitable for horses with a solid foundation in training. These horses understand basic cues, such as bending and lateral movements, and can maintain a relaxed head position. The bit is designed to provide significant tongue relief while still offering the rider a high degree of control, making it ideal for refining communication with a more experienced horse that occasionally needs correctional cues or to advance their training.
