Myler® Black Steel Seven Shank, MB 43LP Narrow Low Ported Barrel, Level 2-3. 6 3/4" shanks. For Western disciplines.

The MB 43LP 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. Because the port is narrow, when the reins are engaged, the horse will feel a slight pressure on the outside edges of the tongue as a reminder rather than a strong reprimand.

The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 1/4" high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure. It is the mildest of the Level 2-3 mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure, just one step below a Level 3 mouthpiece. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages 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:

  • For more tongue pressure, see the MB 27LP, MB 27PB or the MB 41PB.
  • For more tongue relief, see the MB 43MP.
  • For the same benefits but with some palate pressure, see the MB 43HP.
  • For the correctional version of this mouthpiece, see the MB 47 or MB 47PB.
  • For the Level 3 version of this mouthpiece but no Independent Side Movement, see the MB 12 or MB 98.

The Black Steel Seven Shank is a length of round black steel in a 7-curve, with a ring purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece is fixed to the cheek with a decorative stack. The entire shank moves independently of the mouthpiece. The purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to avoid rubbing.

Action: Indirect.

Degree of Leverage: Mild to moderate.
