Bridle with ear space ?

[smiggy]

Does anyone know of something like the dyon difference bridle, really cut away behind ears. Most of the other anatomical bridles seem to still be quite tight there. I already have a micklem and a comiftec bridle in my stash.
my mare can be a bit head tossey, it’s not teeth or back and it is sporadic but I sort of feel it’s related to her ears being quite sensitive. Would be keen to try something with a bit more ear space but the dyon is expensive and a bit odd looking. Any suggestions ?

Just get a larger browband; that sorts every ear-shy horse I've ever had, or take the browband off altogether.

I had to get a custom-made browband for my anatomical bridle to get the headpiece to sit properly, because even the extra-full wasn't big enough. I wouldn't have said my horse was even particularly broad across the forehead.

My gelding has quite a chunky poll, so headpieces tend to slide forward, regardless of how loose the browband is. I use a FSS cut back headpiece.

Mine tosses his head when he’s excited/stressy - I now use a pro tech masta infrared poll thing, and although it doesn’t completely stop the head tossing, it had made a real difference and reduced it massively ?

Have a look at the Henry James 3d Air headpiece. It's padded to lift it up and has a clear channel down the middle. My new one is very sensitive about his ears so I bought this and he was instantly more comfortable. The padding is very soft and 1cm or so thick so it really does lift it up.

Blimey: £60! It's like a teeny tiny saddle

Yeah, it's not cheap but it was my birthday and I had other people's money to spend. Bought a whole bridle and, tbh, it's beautiful and fits horse perfectly.

Thanks all, will have a look
looking at some bridles, £60 for a head piece seems positively bargainous ?
