Myler Correctional Ported Barrel Short Shank Combination Bit 33 42
The Myler correctional ported barrel on an eggbutt with hooks cheek, is also known as an MB 41 PB mouthpiece. The 33 42 has a curved mouthpiece with upward and forward bend, two hinges and centre piece with barrel for independent side movement. There is no restriction in degree of collapse in the mouth. The correctional ported barrel offers lots of tongue relief when the horse is relaxed and obedient, but will put downward pressure on top of bars when activated, followed by downward pressure on top of tongue and inward collapse on bars. The correctional ported barrel is good for a strong horse with his head down low or into his chest. It encourages the horse up into bridle, and is an ideal bit for a horse that tends to bear down and become strong, or overbend. Myler combination bits are often misunderstood and thought to be severe. The action of a Myler combination is to use up to 5 pressure points on the horses head as opposed to one or two that most conventional bits work on. This means the combination will give the rider superior control, without using excessive force in any one place which results in a much more relaxed and comfortable horse. Myler combinations can be useful to school horses in when they are normally ridden in a double bridle, as it encourages self carriage and natural lightness.
