New with tags 5″ Myler Level 3 Flat Shank Medium Wide Ported Mullen curb. Sweet iron mouth that is fixed/mullen with ample tongue relief without strong correction. MB16 mouth, flat shank, with shanks moving at side of mouth. This mouthpiece is made of polished Sweet Iron which naturally oxidizes or rusts. Harmless to horses, it has a sweet taste and promotes salivation. Great, new bit that is offered way less than retail! Per Myler:
The MB 16 is similar to the MB 33 but without the Independent Side Movement. The generously wide port allows room for the horse’s tongue to pass under the bit. Because this mouthpiece is very wide, it applies little to no tongue pressure, working primarily off the bars, chin and poll. This mouthpiece does not offer Independent Side Movement, making it suitable for competing in sports where excessive rein movement is undesirable (reining, Western pleasure). The port on this mouthpiece is 1 ⅔ high, so it will apply little or no palate pressure. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
