The Myler MB04 2-Ring Combination Bit is a hybrid of a ring bit, shank bit and Hackamore.
- Steel 2-Ring Combination Bit
- 4 3/4" Shank with Sweet Iron Low Port Comfort Snaffle
- MB04, Level 2 Copper Inlay Mouth
The Myler Combination Bit synchronizes the pressure applied to nose, chin and poll. By simply changing the noseband/chin strap adjustment, the rider can control how much pressure the mouthpiece applies and to what degree the nose, chin, and poll are engaged.
The mouthpiece floats on the ring and the noseband and chin strap remain stationary until the reins are engaged.
The Combination Bit is applicable across a wide range of horses. It works well for young or green horses but can also be used on older horses being retrained to a new sport or for horses competing in events that require speed, agility and maneuverability such as:
- barrel racing
- cross country
- jumping
- endurance
- mounted shooting
This mouthpiece is made of polished Sweet Iron which naturally oxidizes or rusts. Harmless to horses, it has a sweet taste and promotes salivation.
The Level 2 MB04 mouthpiece will rotate on the tongue and apply tongue pressure; however it has a slight port that allows the horse to swallow when he is moving forward and relaxed. The barrel distributes the pressure kindly on the tongue. The MB04 provides an excellent transition from level one to level two.
The 2-ring combination bit uses five different pressure points to disperse rein pressure.
When the reins are engaged, the horse first feels the nose, chin, and poll pressure before he feels the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece can slide 1" before reaching the stop where it will engage. The horse has ample opportunity to respond to the rein signals before the mouthpiece engages. The rein pressure is distributed over multiple pressure points rather than just the tongue or bars.
