Description: Style: Long Shank Combination Mouthpiece: Low Port Comfort Snaffle Composition: Stainless Steel Shanks; Sweet Iron Coated Mouth w/ Copper Insets Size: 5” (average horse) Shank Height: 8 1/2"” (top of top ring to bottom of bottom ring) Brand: Mylers Condition: New. Excellent (see description). According to Myler:The MB 04 is similar to the MB 02 in that it will rotate on the tongue and apply tongue pressure; however, it has a small (¼") port that introduces some tongue relief to the horse. The port allows the horse to swallow and move his tongue when he is moving forward and relaxed, which acts as a release or reward. The mouthpiece is curved, wrapping around the bars and lips instead of pinching. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.Independent Side MovementSweet Iron MouthpieceCurved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and barsCopper InlayNotes: The MB 04 provides an excellent transition from Level One to Level Two. It is suitable for a wide range of horses, including green horses, experienced horses entering the Myler System, horses that have been ridden exclusively in a single-jointed mouthpiece, or horses that have not been ridden for a while needing re-schooling. The combination bit is a hybrid of a ring bit, shank bit, and hackamore. A purchase ring with specially designed connectors for the noseband and chin strap sits atop a large center ring where the mouthpiece is attached. The long shank combination bit has a flat shank with one rein ring. The mouthpiece slides freely on the center ring until it reaches a stop. The combination bit has the Independent Swivel Cheek. The long shank combination bit uses five different pressure points to disperse rein pressure. Because the noseband and chin strap are connected through the purchase, when the reins are engaged, the horse first feels the nose, chin, and poll pressure before he feels the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece can slide 1" before reaching the stop, where it will engage. The overall effect is to give the horse ample opportunity to respond to the rider’s rein signals, plus disperse the rein pressure over multiple pressure points rather than just the tongue or bars. The long shank offers two rein positions: the large ring and the bottom ring. The standard noseband is flat leather with a knotted cord on either side. The mouthpiece of this bit is coated in Sweet Iron. Sweet Iron is designed to oxidize and rust, creating a sweet taste for the horse to increase bit acceptance. There are also copper insets in the mouthpiece to promote salivation to make the horse's mouth softer and more responsive. "Mylers" and "Toklat" are marked on the inside of the shanks. Includes a curb chain (current model offered by Toklat has a curb strap) This bit is new with hangtags and instruction booklet attached. As mentioned above, it does have a curb chain instead of a curb strap. It was hung in a tack room for awhile so it has some very light marks from storage, mainly on the paper booklet. This bit looks in nicer condition than many I have seen hanging in stores. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being new, mint condition, I would give this bit a 9.8+++. A very nice quality bit! Current suggested retail $219.95.
