Myler 3-Ring Combination Bit - Sweet Iron Ported Barrel Mouthpiece - Level 2-3 Horse Bit

Elevate your communication to the highest level with the Myler combination bit, a sophisticated hybrid design engineered for the finished performance horse. This Level 3 horse bit is specifically crafted for horses that require maximum tongue relief and are highly responsive to subtle, refined cues. By integrating the mechanics of a ring bit, shank bit, and hackamore, it offers a multi-faceted approach to control that prioritizes the horse's comfort and clarity of signal.

The hallmark of this bit is its synchronized 5-point pressure system. When the reins are engaged, the bit distributes signals across the nose, poll, chin, tongue, and bars. This multi-point distribution prevents the concentration of pressure in a single area, encouraging a softer, more relaxed frame. A critical component of this system is the 1-inch slide mechanism; as the rider takes up the contact, the noseband and chin strap engage first, providing a clear "warning signal" to the horse before the mouthpiece reaches its stop and adds tongue or bar pressure. This graduated communication allows the horse to respond to the lightest possible touch, making it a premier tongue relief horse bit.

Advanced Technical Features:

• MB 33 Level 3 Mouthpiece: The most advanced design in the Myler system, featuring a 1.5" high ported barrel that offers maximum room for the tongue while protecting the bars and palate.
• Sweet Iron Ported Barrel: This sweet iron ported barrel is designed to oxidize over time, creating a sweet taste that promotes salivation and encourages a soft, receptive mouth.
• Independent Side Movement: Provides the rider with the ability to lift one shoulder or isolate lateral cues more effectively, offering superior precision for high-level maneuvers and independent side movement.
• Performance Versatility: An exceptional choice for Show Jumping, Cross Country, and high-speed performance disciplines where "stopping power" must be balanced with refined finesse.
• Anatomically Curved Design: The mouthpiece is curved to fit the natural contours of the horse's mouth, preventing pinching and allowing for natural swallowing.

Professional Fitting & Use:

Fitting Instructions: To ensure the 5-point pressure system functions correctly, the noseband must be fitted high on the nasal bone, well above the sensitive cartilage. Due to the unique geometry of the "purchase" (the upper shank), you may need to shorten your bridle cheekpieces or add additional adjustment holes to achieve the correct height in the mouth.

Discipline Legality: While the Myler 3-Ring Combination Bit is a top-tier choice for jumping and speed events at Hooves and Paws, please note that it is generally not legal for sanctioned Dressage competitions. It is intended for horses that have completed their foundational training and are ready for the advanced communication of a Level 3 mouthpiece.
