Myler combination bits.....

[Gingerwitch]

Help, grub understands halter pressure and even neck strap pressure but strongly objects to bit contact.... gets in a total tizzy and panics regardless of seat etc....... so ride on the halter tonight. Fantastic. Do I trust grub hacking out in a halter hell no......so anyone used the combination bit and is it BE or BD legal?

Can you put him in a double bridle, attach a bit to one cheek and a bitless side pull attachment to the other and slowly teach him that way?

You can look up dressage legal bits in the BD rulebook online

That was an ask rather than a statement.

You could try tacking up with a lunging cavesson and a snaffle bridle, putting reins on both. You can then gradually transfer the contact from the cavesson to the bit.

I would try a kineton noseband, it transfers bit pressure from the bars to the nose.

A hack a more is not dressage legal, neither is any kind of combination bit.
I don’t think a Myler combination will achieve what you want. The nose pressure is secondary to the bit action.
Of you just want a rein on a bit 'in case' then ride with 2 reins- 1 to a hackamore, 1 to a snaffle bit.

Why are you "off to Google sidepull attachments" if you don't trust the horse in a halter? The action is the same.
Use bit clips with a hackamore noseband and whatever your preferred bit is with two reins.
