5″ Myler HBT Short Shank Comfort Snaffle

5″ Myler MB02 comfort snaffle, short shank HBT Curb in hardly used condition. With MB02 Comfort Snaffle mouth, one of our favorites. Sweet iron mouth, copper inlays, all for a pleasant taste and to promote salivation for your horse. With time and use, the sweet iron mouth rusts to offer a pleasant taste for your horse. Nice short shank on this bit, too. This one has been used less than 10 times, with almost zero rust. In hardly used condition. 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.

• Independent Side Movement™
• Sweet Iron mouthpiece
• Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
• Copper Inlay

Notes: The mouthpiece is similar to the MB 02 but the center barrel of the MB 01 is narrower, which concentrates pressure on the center of the tongue more than the MB 02. For more tongue relief, step up to the MB 04.

The 5″ HBT shank is stainless steel and slightly curved back, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment. The HBT 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 HBT shank uses the combination of the fixed cheek and fixed rein to apply pressure to the mouth, chin and poll.
