Myler MB 36 Combination Bit - Sweet Iron Ported Barrel with Copper Inlay - 3-Ring Horse Bit

Stop fighting for control and start communicating with the Myler MB 36, the ultimate hybrid bit designed to eliminate resistance by dispersing pressure across five sensitive points. Whether you are navigating a tight barrel turn or approaching a massive oxer, this bit provides the "whoa" you need while rewarding your horse with unparalleled tongue relief and comfort.

The Myler MB 36 Combination Bit represents the pinnacle of Level 2-3 refinement, blending the soft, oxidation-prone taste of sweet iron with a sophisticated mechanical design. Unlike traditional bits that can trap a horse with single-point pressure, this system utilizes a 1-inch "pre-signal" slide to give your horse a fair warning through the nose and poll before the mouthpiece ever engages, fostering a deeper level of trust, relaxation, and responsiveness in every transition.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 5-Point Pressure System: Distributes rein cues across the nose, poll, chin, tongue, and bars, preventing the horse from feeling "trapped" and encouraging a soft, rounded frame.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The mouthpiece allows each side to move independently, enabling the rider to isolate one side for refined lateral cues, such as lifting a shoulder or bending.
• Sweet Iron Ported Barrel (MB 36): Features a 1/4" low, wide port with a 45-degree forward tilt that provides significant tongue relief while the sweet iron promotes salivation and bit acceptance.
• 1-Inch Pre-Signal Slide: Engineered to slide one inch before the mouthpiece engages, giving the horse a "warning" through the noseband and poll to respond to lighter aids.
• 3-Ring Combination Versatility: Offers multiple rein attachment options to customize leverage and control, making it ideal for high-intensity disciplines like Barrel Racing, Jumping, and Cross Country.
• Premium Materials & Sizing: Crafted with a durable sweet iron mouthpiece and copper inlays; available in standard widths of 5”, 5.5”, and 6” to ensure a perfect, pinch-free fit.
• Integrated Synchronization: Includes a high-quality leather noseband and synthetic curb strap that work in tandem to ensure the multi-point pressure system functions with precision.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How does the "pre-signal" slide improve my horse's performance?
A: The 1-inch slide is a game-changer for sensitive or resistant horses. It applies pressure to the nose and poll first, giving the horse a moment to respond to the cue before the bit engages the mouth. This leads to a much lighter, more willing partner who doesn't feel the need to "brace" against the rider.

Q: Is the Myler MB 36 suitable for both English and Western disciplines?
A: Yes! This is a highly versatile crossover bit. It is a favorite among Barrel Racers and Jumpers for its "whoa" and agility, but it is also frequently used by Fox Hunters and Endurance riders who need variable levels of control over long distances and varying terrain.

Q: What level of training does my horse need for this bit?
A: The MB 36 is classified as a Level 2-3 bit. It is specifically designed for horses with a solid foundation who may be leaning on the bit, resisting collection, or requiring more tongue relief than a standard Level 2 mouthpiece provides.
