Myler HBT Shank Mullen Forward Tilt Ported Barrel MB 36

Myler HBT Shank Mullen Forward Tilt Ported Barrel MB 36 — Sweet Iron, 5" HBT Shank, Level 2-3, Independent Swivel Cheek

The Myler MB 36 on the 5" HBT Shank is a Level 2-3 bit offering the same forward tilt mullen alternative as the Flat Shank version, in a shorter, more compact HBT shank configuration. The 1" port tilted forward at 45° allows the horse's tongue to elevate slightly and swallow without palate pressure; when reins are engaged, pressure falls primarily on bars and lips with some added tongue pressure from the tilt. Sweet iron oxidizes to encourage salivation. Independent Swivel Cheek where purchase, mouthpiece, and shank all move independently. Available in 4 3/4" and 5" widths.

• MB 36 — Forward Tilt Mullen Alternative — 1" port at 45° forward tilt allows tongue to elevate and swallow; pressure primarily on bars and lips when reins engaged; not high enough for palate pressure
• 5" HBT Shank vs. 7" Flat Shank — More compact shank profile than the Flat Shank version; a meaningful fit difference for horses that go better in a shorter, more direct shank configuration
• 5" HBT Shank — Patented Independent Swivel Cheek — Stainless steel, slightly curved back; flat-top purchase with rein ring; purchase, mouthpiece, and shank all move independently; purchase angled away from cheek; indirect curb action with curb strap
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay — Oxidizes naturally to encourage salivation; curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips or bars
• Level 2-3 — Independent Side Movement; available in 4 3/4" and 5" mouthpiece widths
