Stainless Steel 5" HBT Shank with Sweet Iron Twisted Snaffle (MB 09T, Level 1) Mouth 5" This mouthpiece is made of polished Sweet Iron which naturally oxidizes or rusts. Harmless to horses, it has a sweet taste and promotes salivation.
The port, although narrow and somewhat low, allows room for the horse’s tongue to pass under the bit. When the reins are engaged and the mouthpiece rotates onto the tongue, it applies two concentrated points of pressure on the tongue for quick control.
The seven-style shank prevents the horse from lipping the bit. This mouthpiece is a straight bar hinged on a center roller, encouraging lateral collection and lift. The sweet iron mouthpiece keeps the horses mouth moist.
Stage C bits are built for riders and horses who love neck reining. Horses who respond well to poll pressure are in Stage C. Features include solid mouthpieces and cheek attachments, and swivel cheeks with jointed mouthpieces or low to medium ports.
The MB 43HP does not rotate onto 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.
Soft straight bar bit that encourages chewing , gives a gentle hand more bending leverage in the horses neck, allowing for a soft feel of the horses mouth, also has the ability to have less leverage by just using the ring at the mouth.
The Dee ring compromises between an eggbutt and a full cheek snaffle, preventing pinching at the corners of the mouth and without the dangers posed by the arms of a full cheek snaffle.
