Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler 3-Ring Combination Bit work as a "combination" bit?

This "combination bit" is a hybrid design engineered to distribute rein pressure across multiple points on your horse's head: the nose, chin, poll, and mouth (tongue and bars). Crucially, it employs a progressive action. Initial pressure is applied to the nose, chin, and poll, giving your horse an opportunity to respond to milder, "halter-like" signals *before* the mouthpiece fully engages. The mouthpiece itself has a slight slide before engaging, encouraging a softer, more willing response and promoting humane communication.

What is unique about the MB 41PB Correctional Ported Barrel mouthpiece?

The MB 41PB is a unique "Correctional Ported Barrel" mouthpiece, rated Myler Level 2-3. It features a distinctive tiered or staggered port design that offers significant tongue relief when the horse is relaxed, allowing for comfortable swallowing. Upon rein engagement, the mouthpiece gently collapses onto the outer lips and bars and rotates onto the tongue, applying two precise points of pressure for enhanced control. This thoughtful balance of generous tongue relief and firm, clear communication makes it suitable for long-term use.

Why is the mouthpiece made of Sweet Iron, and is its appearance normal?

The mouthpiece is crafted from Sweet Iron, a material chosen for its unique properties. Sweet Iron naturally oxidizes (rusts) when exposed to moisture, which is completely harmless to horses. This oxidation process creates a pleasant, sweet taste that encourages salivation. Increased salivation promotes a softer, more relaxed mouth, fostering greater acceptance of the bit and a more comfortable experience for your horse. The resulting discoloration or "rusting" appearance is intentional and beneficial.

Which horses are best suited for the Myler 3-Ring Combination Bit with the MB 41PB?

This bit is ideal for Myler Level 2-3 horses. This includes horses with a solid training foundation, those with challenging dispositions, or advanced horses that might become anxious or aggressive in certain situations. Its pressure-dispersing nature makes it an excellent choice for sensitive horses, young horses, or those who have had negative experiences with traditional bits, helping them gain confidence. It can also encourage horses with an unnaturally high head carriage to lower their heads more naturally, promoting better carriage and comfort. Proper fitting of the noseband and chin strap is essential for optimal function.

How do the 3-Rings and Independent Side Movement (ISM) enhance control?

The "3-Ring" cheekpiece design provides multiple rein attachment points, each offering a varying degree of leverage. This allows riders to customize the bit's intensity to suit their training goals and the horse's individual needs. Additionally, the MB 41PB mouthpiece features Myler's patented Independent Side Movement™ (ISM). This innovative design allows each side of the mouthpiece to move independently, enabling the rider to isolate pressure for clearer, more nuanced cues in bending, balancing, or lifting a horse's shoulder, significantly improving communication.
