An anatomical and flat leather cavesson bridle featuring a unique headpiece designed to help prevent pressure and muscle strain in the horse’s poll and neck muscles. The bridle is fitted with a slim browband with a subtle silver clincher detail.

Colour: Black
Size: Full

About the headpiece:
Have you ever tried to fit a finger under the headpiece after putting the bridle on your horse? In most cases, it is difficult to fit even one finger.

Finesse Bridles feature a completely different headpiece design compared to other bridles on the market. The headpiece on these bridles and double bridles is designed to distribute and reduce pressure over the horse’s poll.
The technology behind the headpiece has been developed by engineers and specialists in the field, who have also worked on hospital mattresses for patients confined to bed, where pressure sores are a common issue.
The headpiece is made from a unique fibre material that allows blood circulation through the tissue in the poll area, regardless of the horse’s conformation.

Background to Finesse Bridles:
A study conducted by two veterinary students together with Dr Adrian Harrison on 12 Icelandic horses showed that all horses demonstrated significantly improved movement throughout the body compared to when using a “standard” bridle. This indicates reduced muscle strain compared to a conventional bridle.
Not only the neck and poll are positively affected by this headpiece, but also the splenius and brachiocephalicus muscles, which play a key role in the horse’s overall movement, from the poll down to the hind legs.
A more detailed report on the subject was expected to be published by the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
