Merrill Bits Combination Smooth Dogbone Roller

About the Bit

The Merrill Combination Bit with Smooth Dogbone Roller is designed for riders who want clear, effective communication while keeping their horse comfortable. By dispersing pressure across the mouth, chin, nose, and poll, this bit delivers softer, more precise cues than a traditional bit.

The smooth 3-piece dogbone mouthpiece eliminates the nutcracker effect, while the roller encourages jaw relaxation and focus. This combination bit helps horses stay light, balanced, and attentive, making it an excellent choice for training, correcting habits, or improving performance in competition.
