* NOSEBAND The wide, anatomical noseband is designed to leave the cheekbones and nerve endings free by being swept up and extra wide. The noseband is provided with very soft padding to prevent pressure and chafing around the horse's jaw. We have chosen the pull-back strap as the padded cushion underneath always remains centered when you tighten the noseband, whether you use the outermost or innermost hole. * CHEEKPIECES Our sideparts are specially designed to reduce pressure from the neck via our elastic CradlesTM. A "cradles" is an extra elastic band that the bit should rest on. The elastic band is located partly in the sideparts 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, as they should allow the bit to "bounce". This should then relieve the teeth and jaw from static pressure. Many believe that horses prefer this type of bridle and that it can thus be more gentle and horse-friendly than regular bridles and reins. On this bridle, the sideparts are round-sewn and also have optional "cradles" with French hooks, making it easy to disconnect the "cradles" when entering the dressage arena. * BROWBAND The browband is round-sewn and completely moldable. When the browband arrives, it will be straight so that you can bend it yourself and change the shape for an optimal fit. Today, all our browbands are provided with a rubber-coated interior, so-called "anti-slip," which should keep the browband up and prevent it from sliding down. As if this were not enough, we also have our beloved Click-ItTM function, which makes it easy to remove and change the browband when needed, even when the horse is wearing the bridle. * COMPETITION The bridle is approved for competition in show jumping, eventing, and dressage in Sweden and within the FEI on horses. Remember to buy a jaw strap and attach it to your browband and make sure the vaggas are disconnected during dressage competitions.
