Following review of the Myler Combination bit, the USEF Eventing Sport Committee, at the recommendation of the Administrative Working Group and Eventing Athletes Working Group, approved a national exemption for the Myler Combination bit. Effective Sept. 1, 2024, the Myler Combination bit will be permitted in the cross-country and show jumping phases of USEF eventing competitions. The inclusion of the Myler Combination bit for national events can be found in the USEF Eventing Annex 1.
