89-31045 Combination 3 Ring with MB04

Design:
Very Unique in design, the Myler Combination bit is a hybrid of a ring bit, shank bit and Hackamore. 
The distance between the top and bottom rings determines the amount of leverage.  The mouthpiece slides freely on the center ring.  A black leather noseband and synthetic curb strap are linked together and run through two small offset rings on the purchase. 

Function:
Utilizing various pressure points, Combination Bits offer simultaneous interaction of the mouthpiece, curb strap and noseband.  When rein pressure is applied or released, the combination bit automatically disperses or releases direct action and leverage pressure to the horse's mouth, chin, nose and poll.  Pressure is spread between the four areas instead of concentrated mostly on the mouth as with traditional bits, allowing the rider send a softer and kinder message.  Light pressure is applied to the mouth as the mouthpiece slides on the ring.  After contacting the "ring stop", the mouthpiece will engage completely and apply more downward pressure.  Also, the backward and downward pressure of the noseband and the forward pressure of the curb strap are extremely effective at asking a horse to relax at the poll. 

Combination bits are Excellent training tools, for horses ranging from youngsters to well-schooled campaigners.
