Western Curb Bit - Myler Ported Cyprium Mouth 5"

This is a Myler Bits Flat Shank size 5 inch mouth with stainless steel 7 inch flat shank with Cyprium ported barrel level 3 (MB33) mouth. (see stages of training below to see if this is the right bit for your horse)Cyprium-90 bits are produced from a high-tech alloy containing more copper for guaranteed to be free of nickel. These high copper and nickel free characteristics encourage salivation to help prevent a dry mouth. The special formulation of high quality stainless steel and cyprium-90 results in a lightweight bit of remarkable tensile strength, durability & elegance. Cyprium-90: a bit ahead of the rest. I have only used this bit a couple of times but then found my boy went better in a jointed bit rather than one with a port. Shame as it's a lovley looking bit and I really like the sound of the Cyprium (having come from a dressage yard where everyone raved about their Cyprium bits) If you have not used a Myler bit before they are very well made and everything on them is very smooth.
