🐎 Why choose this product?
⚠️ The supplier states it clearly: thanks to the shanks, this bridle works through leverage. Rein pressure is applied to the nose and chin, and more lightly to the neck and behind the ears. Bitless does not mean without effect: the wide 45 mm noseband distributes the pressure, but the leverage remains and requires a measured hand.
🧴 Care instructions
Clean the leather with glycerin soap after each use, then condition it regularly. ⚠️ Never dry it near a heat source: the leather will harden and crack. Check the stitching and buckles, as these are the parts most likely to fail first. ⚠️ Adjustment: position the noseband two fingers below the cheekbone, and you should be able to fit two flat fingers between it and the nasal bone. A noseband that is too tight prevents the horse from chewing, which goes against the comfort this bridle is designed to provide.
