HBT Shank Low Port Comfort Snaffle MB 36 5"
Store Pickup Available
DESCRIPTION
The MB 36 is a Myler alternative to the traditional mullen, but it has a wide low port that allows the tongue to pass under it comfortably. The port is 1" high, and tilted forward at a 45º angle, allowing just enough room for the horse’s tongue to elevate slightly and swallow, but not high enough for palate pressure. When the reins are engaged, the MB 36 applies pressure primarily to the bars and lip, but also applies tongue pressure because of the forward tilt. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
- Independent Side Movement
- Sweet Iron mouthpiece
- Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips or bars
- Copper Inlay
Notes: This mouthpiece is a step up in tongue relief from Level 2, but because the port is low, it does not offer as much tongue relief as other Level 2-3 mouthpieces with slightly higher ports because the tongue is still somewhat restricted. The MB 36 mouthpiece is similar to the MB 06, except that it is ¼" higher and the port is tilted forward. The MB 06 mouthpiece will apply less tongue pressure than the MB 36 but additionally offer less tongue relief when the reins are relaxed. For more overall tongue relief and less tongue pressure, see the 43LP.
The 5" HBT shank is stainless steel and slightly curved back, with a flat-top purchase and a rein ring. The mouthpiece has a fixed attachment. The HBT shank has the patented Independent Swivel Cheek, where the purchase, mouthpiece and shank all move independently of each other. The purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to avoid rubbing. It has an indirect (curb) rein action designed to be used with a curb strap which attaches to the purchase. The HBT shank uses the combination of the fixed cheek and fixed rein to apply pressure to the mouth, chin and poll.

"I really have zero interest in horses but this place is still great! I brought in a leather knife sheath today that needed repair. The lady there was an absolute delight and fixed it perfectly while I waited. Outstanding service. Please buy something expensive there to make up for the fact that they made so little on me."
"Great service. Friendly and helpful. I needed a leather sandal repaired. They fixed it right there in less than 10 minutes, and it's perfect. Very reasonably priced. Saved me from having to buy new sandals too!"
"I always find a large selection of clothes and horse supplies at Diamond Royal Tack. I had some embroidery done for a gift and on some fabric for a project I was doing. They did an amazing job. Everyone is very friendly and helpful."
