The Myler® Flat Shank with MB 02 mouthpiece is a Level 1 bit intended for horses beginning training. It has a slightly larger center barrel than the MB 01, which distributes the pressure in a wider area across the tongue. The free-rotating barrel uses mostly tongue pressure and collapses onto the bars. The curved mouthpiece permits the horse to swallow more freely and distributes pressure evenly. Independent Side Movement™ allows the rider to isolate one side of the bit for bending, balancing or lifting a shoulder. Stainless steel, with sweet iron mouth and copper inlay to help promote salivation.
