Anatomical bridles for dressage

[LilyvdM]

I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to invest in a more expensive anatomical bridle for my dressage horse - she’s a bit fussy in her head but has quieted down since I’ve switched her onto a Nathe bit. The person who suggested I try an anatomical bridle is sponsored by a local branch of one of the companies here in South Africa so I am slightly skeptical, especially as most of these bridles are European imports. Current bridle is a straightforward HKM with a flash. Cruz of the matter though: Do people experience a big change in the contact and communication with these bridles? Any input would be greatly appreciated

I use the comfitec bridle on my sensitive tb ex racer. He really does go better in it.

Ask if you can trial one first snd see what your horse thinks.

I've got a Horsemanship Saddlery one, and can't say it's made any difference.

Recently swapped to the collegiate comfitec. It’s a bit tricky to know for sure as have been doing a few things to help but he seems to be going better in this bridle.

I bought this to put on my ordinary bridle.

He seems to like it and is less fussy with his head. Obviously not the same as an anatomical bridle. But it's cheap!

I've also got the Collegiate Comfitec. Really nice bridle for the money. I'm not sure if he goes better in it or not, but I've had several complimentary comments about how nice it looks.
