Merrill Bits Combination Twisted Wire Dogbone Roller

About the Bit

The Merrill Combination Bit with Twisted Wire Dogbone Roller is designed for riders who need clear, precise communication while keeping their horse comfortable and responsive. By dispersing pressure across the mouth, chin, nose, and poll, this bit allows for softer, more effective cues than traditional leverage bits.

The 3-piece twisted wire mouthpiece encourages attentiveness and responsiveness, while the dogbone roller promotes jaw relaxation and salivation. This combination delivers control, softness, and balance, making it ideal for training, correcting habits, or refining performance in competitive settings.
