The most sensitive area behind the horse's ear, the atlas, is where the nuchal ligament attaches. This is responsible for the whole chain of movements of the back. Additionally it is here that the head
joins with the cervical spine, with the foramen magnum connecting the brain with the medulla. Too much pressure here can cause an inflammation of the nuchal ligament's onset, causing the horse to be in tremendous pain.
The Barefoot Contour Bridle is formed in such a way that it spares the atlas thus avoiding the application of any pressure. The browband and the noseband are shaped anatomically as well.
- The noseband is shaped upwards along the bridge of nose so breathing is not restricted.
- The brow-band as well as poll- and nose-band are padded softly completely, including the area of buckles and around the ears.
2-in-1:
The bridle can be used with or without a bit. The cheek piece can easily be removed or attached thanks to a Chicago-screw.
Great endurance bridle!
A flash noseband has been omitted completely as we consider them to be inhumane and unnecessary. A horse that trusts his rider's hands will not open his mouth unless he's got a toothache or doesn't like the bit. To solve these problems one shouldn't tie the mouth shut but have the teeth checked, and/or use a bitless bridle and work on softening the rider's hands.
