Myler Flat Shank with Sweet Iron Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel MB 02

Product Code:048911025

The Comfort Snaffle wide barrel mouthpiece featured on the Myler Flat Shank MB 02 Bit is the Myler alternative to the traditional three-piece mouthpiece commonly used in snaffle bits. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece rotates fully onto the horse's tongue in order to apply the necessary tongue pressure to teach a horse to give to the bit or break at the poll.

The unique curved bars of all Myler bits are ergonomically designed to accommodate the natural anatomy of the horse's mouth, wrapping the bars and lips instead of pinching as the mouthpiece rotates onto the tongue. This curved design also provides significantly more space for the horse's tongue underneath the bit, allowing the horse to comfortably swallow when the reins are not engaged.
 
The barrel in the center is the same width as the bars of the mouthpiece, and therefore applies the same amount of pressure on the tongue. This style of "wide barrel" distributes pressure more kindly than traditional bit centerpieces, and also creates the Independent Side Movement unique to Myler bits!

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 which 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.
