Myler Black Steel Seven Shank – Mullen Forward Tilt Ported Barrel MB 36

The Myler Black Steel Seven Shank MB 36 is a refined Level 2-3 Western bit designed for horses needing tongue relief while maintaining clear communication. The sweet iron mouthpiece features a forward-tilted low port (approximately 1″ high) that allows the horse to lift the tongue beneath the port, reducing palate pressure while still engaging the bars and lips when rein pressure is applied. The black steel Seven Shank provides balanced leverage and stability, and the sweet iron with copper inlay encourages salivation and softness. Independent side movement allows precise lateral cues, making this an excellent choice for trained, responsive horses.
