Auction includes a throat lash piece (not usually included) which was purchased second hand, but sadly the noseband does not fit my horse whose head is between a cob & full size.

This bridle has a more classic dressage design and is perfect for a horse where you want more anatomical features than a regular English noseband. The noseband is designed to avoid pressure from the outside on the teeth and sensitive nerves. The curved design of the noseband leaves the cheekbones and sensitive nerve endings completely free. The upper strap of the noseband is tightened with a pull-back snap, which ensures that the pad underneath is always centered for optimal pressure distribution.

The area around the horse's neck behind the ears is a very sensitive area with a lot of nerves and ligaments. To facilitate pressure from the bridle, we have developed a headpiece that is extra wide. The headpiece also has a cutout at the top, which evenly distributes the pressure and does not focus on a single point. The headpiece is also cut to provide space for the horse's ears - all to provide the highest possible comfort.

The browband is U-shaped to prevent pressure on the horse's forehead and eye socket. Recommended for horses that:

• Are very sensitive to pressure
• Have difficulty relaxing and coming to work
• Have difficulty taking support on the bit
• Have previously had bit- or tooth-related injuries
• Can sometimes become strong.

Extra features:

• Avoids pressure
• Leaves the sensitive nerve endings free
• Pullbackstrap
• Flat, Italian, vegetable-tanned leather
• FEI approved for both horses and ponies in all disciplines when throatlatch is added
