The Myler Combination Bit is particularly suitable as the first bit for a young horse or pony, which will be used to head pressure signals from being led in a head collar. Because all pressure areas engage and release at the same time, the horse is offered a pressure-free reward whenever he is light and relaxed at the poll, (providing, of course, that the rider relaxes his hand.) This makes the Myler Combination an excellent training tool, for horses ranging from youngsters to well-schooled campaigners.Īll Myler Combination Bit mouthpieces are made from Sweet Iron which will corrode gradually over time giving a taste that the horse will love. Myler Combination Bits are available with all levels of mouthpieces, from Comfort Snaffles to Ported Barrels. The pressure exerted on the horse's nose, jaw and poll are extremely effective at getting the horse to relax at the poll and "roll over from the withers", to hold a rounded outline. When rein pressure is applied, the Myler Combination Bit exerts pressure on the horse's nose, poll and jaw (ie only 33% of the total in each area.) If the rider continues to apply rein pressure, the mouthpiece will meet the 'stop' on the ring and start to engage, whereupon the total pressure applied by the rider will be dispersed over 5 areas - the nose, poll, jaw, tongue and bars (ie 20% in each). Utilising various pressure points, Myler Combination Bits offer simultaneous interaction of the mouthpiece, curb strap and noseband. The noseband and jaw strap are fitted snugly, but not tight, against the horse's face, so the action of the bit is smooth and efficient. The fit of both the noseband and jaw strap is higher, with the noseband set above the nostrils, so it cannot restrict the horse's airway. The Myler Combination Bit is not a hackamore nor a hackamore combination. A rawhide-covered rope noseband and curb strap are linked together and run through two small offset rings on the purchase. The lightweight mouthpiece slides freely on the centre ring until the degree of rotation brings it up against the ring stop.
The distance between the top and bottom rings determines the amount of leverage, with the short and long shank combination at opposite ends of this scale and the medium or 3-ring combination giving a choice of rein options. The design features a large centre ring to support the mouthpiece, a top ring for the headstall and a bottom ring for the reins. Unique in design, and one of the kindest bits available, the Myler's Combination Bit is a hybrid of a ring bit, shank bit and Hackamore.
