| Design & style |
Comfort, style and tradition come together to meet your horse's needs. The 580 bridle range was designed with subtle lines and practical details. The bridle is made entirely of leather for an elegant look that showcases your horse's head. The 580 bridle is available in three versions: a topstitched leather version, a leather version with shiny edging and a rhinestone version with a wide noseband. |
| Anatomic design: headpiece & browband |
The lower part of the headpiece is preformed to free the back of the ears, a very sensitive area, which in turn helps relax the horse's mouth. Similarly, we designed the browband with small fittings on the lower part of the headpiece to avoid pressure on the top of the brow and temples. |
| Reduced chafing: |
High-pressure areas are lined with soft foam padding to improve the horse's comfort. You will find this padding on the headpiece, especially on the neck, browband and noseband. |
| Rein combinations: |
This bridle was specially developed with the 580 reins with large pimples. These reins feature the same details, finishes and leather colours. If you're looking for smaller pimples and thinner, more flexible reins, the 900 reins are also compatible with the 580 bridle range.Bridle sold without reins. |
| Sizing: |
The 580 bridle is available in two sizes: cob (CS) and horse (FS). CS is suitable for small-headed horses and section D ponies. FS is suitable for most saddle horses. There are many adjustment options so that medium and large horses can enjoy the perfect fit. The black rhinestone bridle 580 is also available in PS sizes for large section B, section C and small section D ponies. |
| Adjustment: |
The noseband has slider buckles for easier adjustment. The snap hook on the throatlash allows you to tether your horse in a flash. |
| How to check that your bridle is properly fitted |
A few simple movements allow you to check the adjustment of your bridle. You can slip a finger between the horse's face and browband to check if it is too tight and pressing against any sensitive areas. You can then slip a finger between the headpiece and back of the ears to check if it is pressing too tightly against the ears. During the first few uses, remember to check for signs of the bridle chafing your horse's head. |
| A well-adjusted noseband: |
The noseband's fit has a strong influence on how relaxed your horse is. You should be able to slip a finger between the horse's face and the noseband and two fingers between the noseband and the cheeks. If you have any doubts about how to adjust it, seek professional help. The noseband is not always necessary depending on the horse's needs. The noseband on the 580 bridle can easily be removed without any empty loops showing. |
| Care advice: |
To keep your bridle in good condition, we recommend cleaning it regularly with glycerine soap applied using a sponge dampened with lukewarm water. You can then hydrate your leather with grease applied using a household or special leather cloth. If you feel that the leather is rough and dry, you can also use a hydrating conditioner that will nourish your leather. |
