This bit features three ring cheeks, a noseband and chin strap. The mouthpiece is a Myler MB 32 triple barrel mullen. This is a Myler level 2 bit.
The MB 32-3 is an innovative Myler alternative to the traditional mullen. It has three barrels, which turn the mouthpiece from the typical solid bar of a mullen into a flexible bar which allows the horse to elevate his tongue and swallow more easily. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece becomes a solid bar like a traditional mullen but with an exaggerated curve. This curved bar rotates across the bars and lips down onto the tongue, applying pressure across the entire surface of the tongue. The flexibility of the MB 32-3 makes it very forgiving and comforting when relaxed but offers the rider control when engaged. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
The 6" stainless steel 3-ring combination bit is a hybrid of a ring bit, shank bit, and hackamore and uses five different pressure points to disperse rein pressure. Because the noseband and chin strap are connected through the purchase, when the reins are engaged, the horse first feels nose, chin, and poll pressure before he feels the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece can slide 1" before reaching a stop, where it will then engage and apply pressure. The purpose is to give the horse an opportunity to respond to the riders rein signals before applying mouthpiece pressure. The combination bit has an Independent Swivel Cheek, and the purchase is slightly angled away from the cheek to prevent rubbing. The noseband is flat leather with a knotted cord on either side, and the chin strap is synthetic to avoid stretching over time.
