NOSEBAND For this bridle, we've developed a specially designed noseband for ultimate pressure relief. The U-shaped noseband ensures an optimal fit with soft padding throughout. Buckles on each side allow precise fitting for individual horses. Placing the noseband avoids pressure on cheekbones and sensitive nerve endings like the infraorbital nerve. This design also keeps teeth free from pressure, making it beneficial for horses with teeth-related issues. The higher strap prevents the bridle from moving forward to the horse's eyes, avoiding irritation. The padded flash buckle, allowing adjustment from both ways, ensures it stays in place without pinching. HEADPIECE Creating the King Edward Bridle introduced a revolutionary headpiece. The air channel over the poll and neck's highest part provides maximum freedom for sensitive nerve pathways, muscle attachments, and ligaments. Soft leather covers the air channel for easy cleaning, and two smaller pillows at the top ensure optimal placement. Padded edges, extending from the leather base, keep the neckpiece in place, avoiding pressure and rubbing. The malleable foam on the inside molds to the horse's shape for maximum comfort. Equipped with stoppers, the headband ensures the browband stays in place. CHEEK PIECES This bridle features a new version of cheek pieces, tensioned independently and adjustable with multiple holes to accommodate different bits. BROWBAND Softly padded on the inside for comfort and avoiding rubbing, the U-shaped design prevents pressure on the horse's forehead and eye socket. Rubber on the inside ensures it stays in place under tough conditions. Note: This browband does not have our Click-It™ design. RUBBER-COVERED KEEPERS All keepers have rubber on the inside, keeping them securely in place even during the toughest challenges. COMPETITION Approved for competition in all disciplines and within FEI, USEF and USDF. Please remember to buy a throatlatch and attach it to your browband during dressage competitions.
