It is the culmination of literally decades of experience, research, patient observation and just plain hard work by brothers Ron, Dale and Bob Myler who saw a troublesome issue with bit design and decided to do something. These degrees are identified by the "Level" noted for each bit. The Myler Combination Bit represents perhaps the largest leap forward in horse bit concept and design in the modern era. Distributing tongue pressure more evenly than rival designs Myler's unique designs offer varying degrees of tongue relief for the horse depending on his level of training and his disposition. Keeping this in mind, the Myler Bitting System is based on the concept of tongue relief. The creators of Myler Bits, Ron, Dale and Bob Myler, offer this philosophy behind each of their bits: The bit is a communication tool between the horse and rider, and in order to effectively communicate with the horse, the rider needs a bit which allows the horse to be relaxed. In comparison, when the rider engages one fixed rein using a Myler bit with ISM, the rider lifts only one side of the bit, giving a very clear, precise signal to the horse. When the rider engages one rein on a traditional bit, the entire mouthpiece moves, creating a confusing signal for the horse. The barrels at the center of the mouthpiece are not rollers, but rather bushings that allow each side of the bit to move independently of the other. The pressure on the tongue is distributed across all three barrels, which also create the Independent Side Movement unique to Myler bits. The flexibility of this mouthpiece makes it very forgiving and comforting when relaxed, but offers the rider substantial control when engaged. This curved bar rotates across the bars and lips, down onto the tongue. When the reins are engaged, the triple barrel mouthpiece straightens into a solid bar, like a traditional mullen, but with an exaggerated curve. This curved design also provides significantly more space for the horse's tongue underneath the bit, allowing the horse to comfortably swallow when the reins are not engaged. The unique curved bars of all Myler bits are ergonomically designed to accommodate the natural anatomy of the horse's mouth, wrapping the bars and lips instead of pinching as the mouthpiece rotates onto the tongue. The 5" shank length is well suited for trail riding, as the shorter shank makes grazing easier! When the rider engages one rein, the shank moves and the purchase has a slight swivel in order to prevent pressing directly into the horse's face as the bit moves below it. The Independent Swivel Cheek purchase is a patented Myler feature that allows the purchase of the bit to be independently attached to the mouthpiece and the shank.

The broken mouthpiece featured on this bit will apply more pressure specifically to the tongue than a traditional curb bit however, the combination of the fixed cheek and fixed rein apply mild pressure to the bars of the mouth, chin and poll in the traditional curb bit fashion.
