Myler Stainless Steel 5" HBT Shank
MB 43LP Narrow Low Ported Barrel
Level 2-3
The MB 43LP does not rotate on to the tongue, but instead sits solidly across the bars and lips of the horse’s mouth. The port is narrower
than a Level 3 mouthpiece, but still offers room for the horse’s tongue to pass under the bit. Because the port is narrow, when the reins
are engaged, the horse will feel a slight pressure on the outside edges of the tongue — a gentle reminder rather than a strong reprimand.
The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 ¼" high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure. It is the mildest of the Level 2-3 mouthpieces
in terms of tongue pressure, just one step below a Level 3 mouthpiece. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
- Independent Side Movement
- Sweet Iron mouthpiece
- Curved Mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
- Copper Inlay
Notes: For more tongue pressure, see the MB 27LP, MB 27PB or the MB 41PB. For more tongue relief, see the MB 43MP. For the same benefits but
with some palate pressure, see the MB 43HP. For the correctional version of this mouthpiece, see the MB 47 or MB 47PB. For the Level 3
version of this mouthpiece but no Independent Side Movement, see the MB 12 or MB 98.
The 5" HBT shank is stainless steel and slightly curved back, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed
attachment. The HBT shank has the patented Independent Swivel Cheek, where the purchase, mouthpiece and shank all move independently of each
other. The purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to avoid rubbing. It has an indirect (curb) rein action designed to be used with a
curb strap which attaches to the purchase. The HBT shank uses the combination of the fixed cheek and fixed rein to apply pressure to the
mouth, chin and poll.
Action: Indirect
Discipline: Western
Degree of Leverage: Mild
Notes: The HBT is well suited to trail riding as the shorter shank makes grazing easier for the horse.
