Contour 2-in-1 Bridle - to be used with or without snaffle bit
...applied for patent
The most sensitive area behind the horse’s ear, the atlas…
The
atlas is where the nuchal ligament attaches which is responsible for
the whole chain of movements of the back. Additionally here 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 Bridle Contour is formed in such a way, that it spares the
atlas, 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.
2-in-1:
The bridle can be used with or without a snaffle bit. The cheek piece
can easily be removed or attached thanks to a Chicago-screw.
The brow-band as well as poll- and nose-band are padded softly completely, including the area of buckles and around the ears.
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, use a bitless bridle and softening the rider’s hands.
