Does anyone use/used this bridle? Any feedback on them please?

I have been searching for anatomical or comfort bridle that doesn't have a noseband for over a year now and this is the closest thing I have found so far. I like how the cheek strap is positioned away from the eye but the browband looks as if it might be a bit tight on the sides, though that could just be the picture.

If anyone has other recommendations that would be great as well, however I am in Australia and all the decent ones I have come across are in the UK and don't deliver here or delivery costs a few hundred $$

Thank you!

I have a friend that uses one on her horse, has done for ages.

I remember it caught my eye at trec competition.

I did find a few when I was looking for a new bridle:

There’s also this

Headstall Bridle - Anatomical - Without Noseband

Anatomical bridles designed for maximum pressure point relief, double buckle throatlash and 'Quick-Click' browband. These bridles are without nosebands.

www.horsemanshipsaddlery.uk

And Henry James does the 4D with the option of not using a noseband

Comfort 4D Air Headpiece 2 Strap

Anatomical headpiece with 4D padding, air gap and TMJ cushioning. Versatile design use noseband and cheekpieces or cheekpieces and throatlash - no bulk, full comfort.

I do like the look of the one you’ve found though and would be keen to see any reviews … I’d swap out the browband anyway as they never fit my donk as standard

ETA on closer inspection not so sure I like where the buckle lands on the “bridging piece”(?) that joins the throatlash/cheekpiece to headpiece. So even more keen to hear actual reviews now of where that lands.

There is also this one:

The Bare Bridle

All of the benefits of the Quantum Bridle but without the noseband! This bridle can be made into any of the others by simply purchasing the Frontier noseband, Welfare noseband, Competition noseband or double attachments... or just simply use as is! Please allow 4-6 week wait time

We have a lot of our RDA horses in them.

They say that they ship worlwide - not sure how much that would cost though.

I had the barefoot one, I can't remember why I didn't like it but I sold it. I think the brow band was small. I bought a quantum instead

I didn't like that buckle either it's sitting on the bony part at the side, I have Arab's so not big but even a fs browband I think is too tight with most bridles.

dunno but like the look of it

I used it on Bobbi, I loved it! Didn't bother with the browband (I always found them a bit tight on Bobbi) and we were bitless, but I loved the way it was kept away from her eye.

ETA, quality isn't bad either, nice padding and decent leather.

I looked at these, they seem amazing but with shipping it puts the price at $620 which is a bit too much of a stretch unfortunately.

Why not use a western bridle?

 

[Rowreach]

Get one made? It would be a heck of a lot cheaper than buying one of these extortionately priced ones and importing it.

I know! My horse has a non-standard (enormous!) head too so would need the browband made bespoke.

See I think alot of tack comes up small anyway.
