Very good used 5″ Stainless Steel HBT Short Shank with Sweet Iron Sweet, ported, (MB33, Level 2/3) with Copper Inlay. This mouthpiece is made of polished Sweet Iron which naturally oxidizes or rusts. Harmless to horses, it has a sweet taste and promotes salivation. The mouth is sweet iron, so does rust to offer a pleasant sweet taste for the horse. Very good used, mouth has started to rust.

Per Myler: This bit is suggested for a horse who doesn’t need longer shanks and desires more tongue relief than other bits or mouths. The MB 33 is the mildest Myler mouthpiece in terms of tongue pressure. The generously wide port allows room for the tongue to pass almost completely under the bit. Because this mouthpiece does not rotate on to the tongue and the port is wide, it applies little to no tongue pressure, working primarily off the lips and bars. The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 ½” high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure. Because the MB 33 offers such a high degree of tongue relief, the horse that goes well in this mouthpiece has a trustworthy and consistent disposition, and is trained to work off the leg and seat as well as the hands. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
