Are you searching for a bit that truly transforms your riding experience, fostering a deeper connection and effortless communication with your horse? Discover the revolutionary Myler 36 Three Ring Combination Bit with Rawhide – a design trusted by equestrians worldwide for over 30 years to deliver both gentle control and precise responsiveness.

At Hooves & Paws, we believe in harmony between horse and rider. This isn't just a bit; it's a bridge to understanding, designed to elevate your training, soften your horse's responses, and make every ride a more joyful partnership. Give your horse the comfort and clarity they deserve with a bit engineered for thoughtful communication.

Why the Myler 36 Combination Bit is a Game-Changer:

• Revolutionary 5-Point Pressure System: This innovative design gently distributes rein pressure across your horse's nose, chin, poll, tongue, and bars of the mouth. It encourages a softer, more responsive connection, allowing your horse to yield and soften before the mouthpiece fully engages.
• Comfort-First MB 36 Forward Tilt Ported Barrel: Crafted from polished Sweet Iron with copper inlay, the MB 36 mouthpiece (Myler Level 2-3) promotes salivation and a relaxed jaw. Its unique forward tilt offers generous tongue relief when relaxed, yet provides moderate, effective tongue pressure when engaged, encouraging swallowing and relaxation.
• Patented Independent Side Movement (ISM): Say goodbye to one-dimensional cues! ISM allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling clearer, more precise lateral signals for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder without affecting the opposite side.
• Soft Rawhide Noseband: An integral part of the 5-point system, the rawhide noseband adds another layer of gentle communication, encouraging your horse to soften and accept the bit, contributing to the overall humane pressure distribution.
• Versatile Three-Ring Design: Customize your control! Multiple rein attachment points offer varying degrees of leverage, allowing you to fine-tune the bit's action to perfectly suit your horse's individual needs, training level, or specific riding situations.
• Trusted Myler Quality: Join generations of riders who trust Myler for their innovative designs, quality craftsmanship, and commitment to humane horse training. This bit is built to last and perform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Myler 36 Bit achieve such "gentle control and enhanced communication"?

A: The Myler 36 employs a revolutionary 5-point pressure system. Instead of concentrating pressure solely on the mouth, it distributes rein pressure across the horse's nose, chin, poll, tongue, and bars of the mouth. This unique approach allows your horse to initially feel pressure on the nose, chin, and poll, encouraging a softer, more humane response and better communication before the mouthpiece fully engages. The rawhide noseband is crucial for this pressure distribution, acting as the first point of contact.

Q: Can you explain the MB 36 Forward Tilt Ported Barrel mouthpiece in more detail?

A: The MB 36 mouthpiece is a Myler Level 2-3, featuring a low, wide port with a distinctive 45-degree forward tilt. This design provides generous tongue relief when the reins are relaxed, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably and relax its jaw. When the reins are engaged, the forward tilt applies moderate, precise tongue pressure, encouraging your horse to come off the bit and soften. Made from polished Sweet Iron with a copper inlay, it naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste, promoting salivation and acceptance.

Q: How do the multiple rings on this bit work, and what are my leverage options?

A: The "three-ring" design of the Myler 36 offers remarkable versatility through its multiple rein attachment points. You can attach your reins to the main ring for a milder, more direct rein action. Moving down to the lower rings increases leverage, providing more control and helping to encourage a horse to break at the poll or lift its shoulder. This allows you to customize the bit's action to perfectly match your horse's sensitivity, training needs, and the specific discipline or situation, offering anything from direct rein to mild leverage.

Q: What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it benefit my riding?

A: Myler's patented Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a game-changer for precise communication. This innovative feature allows each side of the mouthpiece to move independently of the other. This means you can provide clearer, more isolated lateral cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a horse's shoulder without inadvertently affecting the opposite side of the horse's mouth. The result is a more nuanced, responsive, and effective interaction with your horse, leading to refined performance.

Q: Is the Myler 36 Combination Bit suitable for my horse, especially if they have specific challenges?

A: The Myler 36 is often recommended for a wide range of horses, particularly those that are resistant to traditional bits, tend to lean or pull, or need refinement in their responsiveness. It's designed to encourage relaxation, a softer response, and proper head carriage, such as breaking at the poll. While versatile, it's always best to consult with a qualified trainer or experienced horse professional to determine the ideal bit for your horse's individual needs, temperament, and training level. Remember, proper fitting of the rawhide noseband and chin strap is crucial to ensure the bit functions as intended and distributes pressure correctly.
