Merrill Bits Combination Twisted Wire Dogbone

About the Bit

The Merrill Combination Bit with Twisted Wire Dogbone Mouthpiece is designed for riders seeking subtle, precise communication while maintaining comfort for their horse. The combination design disperses pressure across the mouth, chin, nose, and poll, allowing effective cues without harsh contact.

The twisted wire dogbone mouthpiece encourages attentiveness, responsiveness, and jaw relaxation, while remaining soft enough to avoid a nutcracker effect. This bit is ideal for horses that need clear guidance with responsiveness during training or performance.
