Myler MB 04 Black 6-3/4" Steel Seven Shank Low Port Comfort Snaffle - 5"
Myler Black Steel 7" Seven Shank, MB 04 Low Port Comfort Snaffle, Level 2
The MB 04 is similar to the MB 02 in that it rotates on the tongue and applies tongue pressure. However, it features a small (¼") port that introduces tongue relief for the horse. This port allows the horse to swallow and move its tongue when moving forward and relaxed, acting as a release or reward.
The mouthpiece is curved, designed to wrap around the bars and lips instead of pinching. Additionally, the sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes, encouraging salivation.
Key Features:
- Independent Side Movement™
- Sweet Iron mouthpiece
- Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
- Copper Inlay
- Black shank will discolor over time to an antique brown
- Stainless steel dots
Notes:
The MB 04 is an excellent transition bit from Level One to Level Two, suitable for a wide range of horses:
- Green horses
- Experienced horses entering the Myler System
- Horses ridden exclusively in single-jointed mouthpieces
- Horses requiring re-schooling after not being ridden for a while
The Black Steel Seven Shank features a round black steel design in a “7” curve, with a ring purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece is fixed to the cheek with a decorative “stack,” and the entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece. The purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to prevent rubbing.

- Size: 6 ¾" shank
