5″ Myler Wide Barrel Flat Shank Curb

Very good used used Stainless Steel 5″ Flat Shank with Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel (MB 32, Level 2). In very good used condition, mouth has started to rust. This mouthpiece is made of polished Sweet Iron which naturally oxidizes or rusts. Harmless to horses, it has a sweet taste and promotes salivation. This mouth is a thicker, more stable version of Myler’s popular Comfort Snaffle. Per Myler:

The MB 32 is a Myler alternative to the traditional mullen. It is curved more than a traditional mullen, giving more room for the horse’s tongue under the bit. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.

The 7″ Flat Shank is stainless steel and curved slightly back towards the horse, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment. The Flat 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 that attaches to the purchase. The flat shank uses the combination of the fixed cheek and fixed rein to apply pressure to the mouth, chin, and poll.
