Bridle Athens Black Leather

We donate 5% of the profits from this bridle to World Horse Welfare to help horses in need around the world (Registered charity no: 206658 and SC038384).

* NOSEBAND
The lower strap of the cavesson is anatomically curved to fit perfectly around the shape of the nose. The cavesson is softly padded at the cheekbones and on the nose bridge to avoid chafing, and the PS logo is discreetly stamped on the leather as a stylish detail. The padded cushion can be moved and adjusted for an optimal fit. The cavesson is also highly adjustable, and thanks to the long straps, it can easily be customized for each horse. The cavesson also helps horses keep their airways free of pressure, so it does not interfere with the horse's breathing. The buckles are covered in leather underneath to avoid chafing and give the horse increased comfort.

* HEADPIECE
The headpiece is designed with an air channel over the highest point of the neck and mane to provide maximum freedom for the neck's sensitive nerves, muscle attachments, and ligaments that all attach to the neck. It also has built-up, softly padded edges with an anatomical shape around the ears. At the top, we also have a round cutout to distribute the pressure evenly across the entire headpiece.

* CHEEKPIECES
Our cheek pieces are specially developed to reduce pressure from the neck via our elastic CradlesTM. A cradle is an extra elastic band on which the bit rests. The elastic band is located partly in the cheek pieces by the bit, but also on our reins. The idea is that they should act elastically and provide a higher degree of comfort for the horse, as they should let the bit "spring." It should then relieve teeth and jaws from static pressure. Many believe that horses prefer this type of bridle, and that it can thus be gentler and more horse-friendly than regular bridles/reins. On this bridle, the cradles are sewn in place, making it more suitable for jumping and eventing, but of course, it works just as well for dressage at home. We have also chosen to use French hooks so that you can easily change bits as needed.

* BROWBAND
The browband has a U-shaped design to avoid pressure on the horse's forehead and eye socket. The browband has rubber on the inside of the buckle to ensure that it stays in place during the ride. As if this weren't enough, we also have our beloved Click-ItTM function, which makes it easy to remove and change the browband as needed, even when the horse is wearing the bridle.

Recommended for horses that:
* Are hot in riding
* Are very sensitive around the jaw and teeth
* Become strong/"spooky" when approaching obstacles
* Need a stable cavesson.

Please note:
* Reins are not included with the bridle and needs to be purchased separately
