Toklat HBT Shank Medium Ported Barrel (MB-05)

The Toklat HBT Shank bit features a 5″ stainless steel cheek configuration and the MB-05 sweet iron mouthpiece with heavy copper inlay. This mouthpiece offers low to medium porting and a wide barrel — designed for horses trained to respond with light cues while still offering moderate leverage. The stainless shank adds durability and the sweet iron mouthpiece encourages salivation and acceptance.

Cheek Style: HBT Shank — stainless steel, slightly curved back with flat-top purchase and rein ring.
Mouthpiece: MB-05 sweet iron mouth — port height ~1¼″, low to medium leverage and wide barrel for tongue relief.
Width: 5″ standard width for this bit model.
Use Case: Suitable for Western disciplines where moderate leverage and refined communication are desired. Ideal for horses trained to respond off leg, seat, and hands rather than strong hand cues.
Care: Rinse thoroughly after each use, pat dry. Use light oil to protect the sweet iron and prevent rust. Inspect shank and rein ring regularly for wear.
