* NOSEBAND The noseband is made of Italian leather and is smoothly fastened with a buckle underneath, where the buckle is covered in soft leather to avoid direct pressure on the jaw and possible rubbing. * HEADPIECE The headpiece is built with an air channel over the mane and the highest part of the neck to provide maximum freedom for the sensitive nerve pathways, muscle attachments, and ligaments that all attach to the neck. It also has built-up, softly padded edges with anatomical design around the ears. At the top, we also have a recess to evenly distribute pressure over the entire headpiece. * CHEEKPIECES Our cheekpieces are specially developed to reduce pressure from the neck through our elastic VaggaTM. A vagga is an extra elastic band on which the bit rests. The elastic band is partly located in the cheekpieces at the bit and 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 teeth and jaws from static pressure. Many believe that horses prefer this type of bridle, and that it can be more gentle and horse-friendly than regular bridles/reins. On this bridle, the vaggas are sewn on, which makes them more suitable for jumping, hunter, and eventing, but of course, they are just as good for dressage at home. We have also chosen to use French snaps so that you can easily change the bit as needed. * BROWBAND The browband is softly padded on the inside to avoid rubbing and make it more comfortable. We also have a U-shaped design to avoid pressure on the horse's forehead and eyebrow. The browband has rubber on the inside to ensure that it stays in place even under the toughest conditions. This browband does not have our Click-ItTM design. Recommended for horses: * Prefer not to have an Aachen strap at the front * Should be trained/shown as a jumper or hunter prospect * Are younger and need a comfortable first noseband Please note: * Reins are not included with the bridle and needs to be purchased separately
