Anatomical bridles?!

[0950Lisa12]

I totally love the look of the BR howden bridle - anatomical with the rolled leather - anyone recommend any other that are similar to this? Not over £200 either! hahah

I like my eco-rider one, not sure if they’re exactly what you’re looking for but they have a few different styles!

I love my comfitec anatomical bridle, less than £100 as well.

same! Really nice leather, feels well made, I like the poll area shape and padding and the noseband design.

I've got a PSOS bridle for sale, but its not rolled leather. My horse it was bought for didn't like it for some reason and it doesn't fit the other one

Im waiting for one to be delivered, the reviews seem great! Fingers crossed my girl likes it

Ohhh thanks everyone! Decisions, decisions!

Stampede equestrian bridles are lovely. The leather is really nice and soft

I attended a biomechanics lecture and rolled leather is to be avoided as puts more pressure on the nerves and TMJ. It had all been scientifically tested with pressure mapping. It makes sense if you think about it as a higher pressure due to less surface area.

Very interesting, thank you!

Very interesting, thank you!

For all headpieces in all horses, high peak pressures were consistently located near the distal ends of the headpiece on either side, ventral to the base of the ears (sensors A1-4, B2-4, A30-31, B29-32). The exact location of the peak pressure sensors on the mat varied in relation to the size of the horse’s head so the peak pressure zones were closer together on the mat in the horses with a smaller width between the base of the ears. For different headpiece
designs, additional locations of high peak pressures varied between designs. For wide headpieces (6-cm-wide), there were high pressures on the caudal margin of the headpiece (sensors D7-12, D21-26) at the area of impact with the wings of the atlas on either side. Where the noseband strap was positioned underneath the headpiece, there were increased pressures on the midline over the top of the head (sensors C7-25) with the highest pressures recorded in rolled bridles, where the rolled noseband and bridoon lay on top of one another inducing focal pressures (sensors B7- 23; Fig. 3).
