Hello!
I currently have my big cob in a Micklem bridle. He goes well in it, but holds tension in his neck and jaw (which we are working on in lessons).
I am thinking about changing bridles and trying something new. I like the drop-like noseband on the Micklem, rather than anything with a flash.
I was looking at the PS of Sweden Nirak and the Pioneer (I can't decide which is better, since the Nirak has the fixed cheek pieces like a Micklem, but I'm not sure that's what we want/need).
I like the look of the Fairfax but not the price tag! I'm also not convinced it merits the extra money (but happy to be persuaded otherwise).
My priority is the padded headpiece, because my boy is a bit sensitive around the poll. But otherwise I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
He's in a NS turtle top tactic in case that makes a difference
