Merrill Bits Combination Smooth Dog Bone

About the Bit

The Merrill Combination Bit with Smooth Dogbone Mouthpiece is designed for riders seeking balanced, effective communication and comfort for their horse. The combination design disperses pressure across the mouth, chin, nose, and poll, allowing for subtle, precise cues while reducing harsh contact.

The smooth dogbone mouthpiece encourages jaw relaxation and salivation, providing a soft, responsive feel. This bit is ideal for horses that benefit from gentle guidance while maintaining attention, responsiveness, and proper head carriage during training or performance.
