Experience a new level of Western performance by rewarding your horse with the tongue relief they crave and the precision you need. The Myler MB 36 Seven Shank bridges the gap between comfort and control, making it the ultimate tool for refining communication in the arena or on the trail.

Expertly engineered for the advancing equine athlete, this bit features a 6 3/4-inch Seven Shank in durable Black Steel paired with a Sweet Iron mouthpiece. The innovative design utilizes Myler’s signature Independent Side Movement to deliver clear, unilateral signals, while the copper-inlaid mouthpiece encourages a soft, responsive mouth through natural salivation and oxidation.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Myler Level 2-3 Mouthpiece: The MB 36 Mullen Forward Tilt Ported Barrel provides significant tongue relief when the horse is relaxed, engaging mild bar and tongue pressure only when the rider applies rein aids for refined communication.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): This signature Myler technology allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling the rider to lift a single shoulder or flex one side without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.
• 6 3/4-Inch Seven Shank: Constructed from durable Black Steel, this shank provides moderate to strong leverage with indirect curb action, ideal for horses with a solid training foundation.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize over time, creating a sweet taste that promotes salivation and a relaxed, "soft" mouth.
• 1-Inch Forward Tilt Port: The revolutionary ported barrel design allows for comfortable swallowing and tongue placement, reducing resistance and promoting natural collection.
• Ergonomic Curved Bars: The mouthpiece is expertly contoured to follow the natural shape of the horse's mouth, preventing pinching and ensuring maximum comfort during every ride.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What type of horse is the Myler MB 36 Seven Shank best suited for?
A: This bit is designed for horses with a solid foundation that are transitioning out of a basic snaffle. It is the perfect choice for Western disciplines such as Reining, Trail, or Western Pleasure where refined communication and moderate leverage are required.

Q: How do I ensure I am ordering the correct size for my horse?
A: Myler recommends selecting a size that allows 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit to be visible on each side of the horse's mouth. Due to the ergonomic curve of the MB 36, it often fits slightly wider than a traditional straight-bar bit.

Q: Does the "Black Steel" finish require special care?
A: The Black Steel shanks and Sweet Iron mouthpiece are designed to oxidize, which is a natural process that creates a sweet taste for the horse. This will eventually develop an attractive antique brown patina, which is a hallmark of high-quality Western bits.
