Refine your communication and unlock a more responsive, willing partner with the Myler Black Steel Seven Shank Bit. Designed for horses transitioning beyond the basics, this bit provides the perfect balance of tongue relief and precise correction for a softer, more supple ride.

Expertly crafted for the intermediate to advanced horse, the MB 27PB features a sophisticated blend of Sweet Iron and Black Steel that prioritizes equine comfort and rider precision. The intelligent design encourages salivation and relaxation through its oxidizing mouthpiece, while the Seven Shank construction offers mild-to-moderate leverage and independent side movement for nuanced Western performance.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Correctional MB 27PB Mouthpiece: Features a narrow 1 ¼” port that offers essential tongue relief while applying two concentrated pressure points for precise, quick corrections.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: Naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste, actively encouraging salivation and a softer, more accepting mouth.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling riders to isolate cues for better bending, balancing, and lifting the shoulder.
• Seven Shank Design: Provides mild-to-moderate leverage with a 7” shank length, perfect for Western riders seeking refined control and consistent head carriage.
• Standard 5” Mouthpiece Width: Sized to fit most average-sized horses comfortably while ensuring the correctional barrel sits correctly on the tongue.
• Durable Black Steel Finish: Built for longevity, the black steel shanks are designed to gracefully develop a classic antique brown patina over time.
• Myler Level 2–3 Suitability: Specifically engineered for horses progressing beyond basic snaffle training or those requiring re-schooling with refined pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse just starting under saddle?
A: No, this is a Myler Level 2-3 bit designed for horses with a solid foundation. It is best suited for horses that have moved beyond a basic snaffle and require more refined communication or those being re-schooled to respect the bit.

Q: Why is the bit changing color or "rusting"?
A: This is a desired feature of Sweet Iron and Black Steel. The oxidation process is harmless and creates a sweet taste that horses prefer, which promotes a relaxed jaw and significantly better bit acceptance.

Q: How does the Independent Side Movement (ISM) benefit my training?
A: ISM allows you to move one side of the bit without affecting the other. This is crucial for lateral work, as it lets you give clear signals to lift a specific shoulder or flex through a turn without confusing the horse with bilateral pressure.
