* NOSEBAND The noseband is softly padded and is tightened smoothly with a pullback strap, which is also padded for the horse's comfort. We chose the pullback strap because the padded cushion underneath always remains centered when you tighten the noseband, whether you use the outermost or innermost hole. We have used a drop-shaped design on the noseband, where the widest part is 5.5 cm in size Full. Due to this design, the cheekbones are kept free from pressure and rubbing, and the pressure over the nose bridge is also distributed thanks to its wider shape. * HEADPIECE The area around the horse's neck behind the ears is a very sensitive area with many nerves and ligaments. To relieve pressure from the bridle, we have developed a headpiece that is extra wide. The headpiece is also cut to make room for the horse's ears - all to provide the highest possible comfort. We have also added a larger cutout on top, which evenly distributes the pressure and avoids focusing on one point. * CHEEKPIECES Our cheekpieces are specially designed to reduce pressure from the neck through our elastic CradlesTM. A vagga is an extra elastic band on which the bit should rest. The elastic band is located in the cheekpieces at 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, allowing the bit to "bounce". This should relieve the teeth and jaw from static pressure. Many believe that horses prefer this type of bridle, and that it can therefore be gentler and more horse-friendly than regular bridles and reins. On this bridle, the cheekpieces are round-sewn and also have optional "cradles" with French hooks in the color gun metal, making it easy to disconnect the vaggas when entering the dressage arena. * BROWBAND browband features a U-shaped design to avoid pressure on the horse's forehead and eyeball. As if that weren't enough, the browbands are provided with an inside layer of rubber, so-called “anti-slip” which will keep the browband in place on the headpiece. The browband has our unique Click It™ function which enables you to easily change the browband in a matter of seconds without having to remove it from the horse's head. Fits perfectly with our flat bridles and bridle parts. - Italian vegetable-tanned leather - Metallic PS logo button on closure * COMPETITION Works for all disciplines and are approved by the FEI. We recommend checking with your local equestrian authorities for detailed information in your country.
