Myler MB 32-3 Combination Horse Bit - 6" Shank, Sweet Iron Triple Barrel Mouthpiece, ISM, Leather Noseband

Stop struggling with resistance and transform your ride into a harmonious partnership built on clarity and kindness. The Myler MB 32-3 Combination Bit offers the perfect balance of refined control and anatomical relief, allowing your horse to relax, salivate, and respond to the lightest cues without tension.

Engineered with Myler’s signature attention to equine anatomy, this bit features a Sweet Iron Triple Barrel mouthpiece that naturally oxidizes to encourage a soft, responsive mouth. By distributing pressure across five distinct points—the nose, poll, chin, tongue, and bars—this hybrid design bridges the gap between a traditional shank bit and a hackamore, ensuring your horse receives a clear, progressive signal before the mouthpiece even engages.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Triple Barrel Mullen Mouthpiece: Stays flexible to allow easy swallowing when relaxed, but locks into a solid, curved bar for even pressure distribution across the tongue and bars when engaged.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Enables precise lateral signals, allowing you to communicate through one side of the bit without affecting the other for unmatched clarity.
• 6-Inch Balanced Shanks: Provide refined leverage and "stopping power" for speed disciplines like barrel racing and jumping without the harshness of a traditional gag bit.
• 5-Point Pressure Distribution: Progressively engages the nose, poll, jaw, tongue, and bars, offering a humane way to guide horses that may get "strong" or lean on the bit.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste that promotes salivation, jaw relaxation, and consistent bit acceptance.
• Complete Hardware Setup: Includes a premium black leather noseband and a durable synthetic curb strap, designed for immediate use and easy maintenance.
• Anatomical Relief: The exaggerated curve of the MB 32-3 provides vital tongue relief, making it an ideal choice for horses that tend to go "behind the bit" or have sensitive mouths.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the combination action is adjusted correctly?
A: For optimal performance, use the "Pinky Rule." Adjust the leather noseband so you can fit one pinky finger between the strap and the horse's nose. This allows the bit to slide approximately one inch before the stop engages, ensuring the nose and poll pressure act as a "pre-signal" before the mouthpiece fully engages.

Q: Is this bit legal for all equestrian competitions?
A: While the Myler MB 32-3 is a favorite for barrel racing, gymkhana, and cross-country, it is explicitly not legal for dressage. Because rules vary by organization, we recommend checking your specific discipline's rulebook regarding combination bits before entering the show ring.
