Myler Stainless Steel 5" HBT Shank
MB 41PB Correctional Ported Barrel
Level 2-3
The MB 41PB is a truly unique Myler mouthpiece. This mouthpiece is a correctional mouthpiece, a ported mouthpiece that collapses on to the
outer lip and bars, and rotates on to the tongue. The port has a tiered design; the base is generously wide with rounded corners, offering
virtually the same comfort and tongue relief of a Level 3 mouthpiece, while the top is narrower and has pronounced corners. If the horse is
relaxed, the tongue can pass comfortably under the wide opening. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece collapses on to the bars and
lips and rotates on to the tongue. The pronounced corners of the port apply two points of pressure on the tongue for increased control. The
result is a mouthpiece that offers maximum tongue relief for the horse, but very good control for the rider. The unique design and the
generous tongue relief of the MB 41PB make it the only correctional that can be used long term, possibly even as a horse’s finishing bit.
Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.

Notes: The MB 41PB used with Western cheek pieces is 1 ¼" high. When used with English cheek pieces and the Combination Bit, it is ¾" high.
For the same tongue relief see the MB 05, for a non-correctional mouthpiece with the same tongue relief, see the MB 33. For slightly more
tongue pressure, see the MB 43LP. For quicker tongue pressure and less tongue relief, see the correctional MB 27PB.
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.
