Myler Toklat Stainless Steel Flat Shank Correctional Iron Port MB 47 Level 3

Description

Myler Toklat Stainless Flat Shank Correctional Sweet Iron Port MB47 Level 3
This is a really nice stainless steel flat shank show bit made by bit maker Myler Toklat, with an MB47 correctional mouthpiece.  This is a less common Myler bit mouthpiece and is usually difficult to find online.  This is a very lightly used bit in well maintained condition with minor surface wear on the shanks and light rusting on the mouthpiece.  The flat shanks measure 7-1/2 inches long with a 2-1/2 inch long purchase for a 3 to 1 leverage ratio.  The mouthpiece is Myler's MB47 mouthpiece and measures 5 inches wide by 3/8 diameter.
The low and wide barrel ported sweet iron correction mouthpiece is shaped with a curved forward tip to perfectly fit your horse's mouth and provide tongue relief.  This mouthpiece offers a variety of pressure points to take the horse as soft as possible.
This mouthpiece is made of  sweet iron with inlaid copper on the bars to encourage lightness and salivation.  The port on this mouthpiece is 2 inches high, so it will apply mild palate pressure. The MB47 correctional port is the one of the milder Myler mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure and is considered to be somewhere between level 2 and level 3.  The wide port allows room for the tongue to
fit under the bit and makes swallowing easier applying little to no tongue pressure, working primarily on the bars, lips, chin and poll and the barrel mouthpiece assists in lifting each shoulder independently. Because the MB47 offers such a high degree of tongue relief, the horse that goes well in this mouthpiece has a trustworthy and consistent disposition, trained to work off the leg and seat as well as the hands.  This mouthpiece has Independent Side Movement and weighs 12 ounces so it is a very nice light bit and recommended for the the following type of horse:
Horse considered broke or finished; willing to obey commands
Relaxed at the poll
Possesses advanced skills, works well off the seat, legs, and hands
Encourages relaxation at the poll, bending and proper collection
Correction port features swivel motion on each side of the port
Curved mouthpiece and port offer tongue relief and allow horse to swallow
Natural oxidation will enhance the sweet taste and promote salivation
Independent side movement allows rider to isolate one side of the bit
