Bridles & Halters

Modifiable Barefoot bridle Cedar, made of soft leather: includes halter /sidepull, clip on leather reins and leadrope

You can modify the size of this bridle to suit most horses. The headpiece, nose band and throat-lash are adjustable from both sides. You can easily buckle a bit on and off or use the bridle as a sidepull, they now have rings to allow you to clip the reins to the noseband.  The whole throat lash is removable, so that you can also use the bridle as a halter. The nose band is padded softly. The bridle comes with clip on leather reins and a beautiful lead rope made from leather and nylon with a panic buckle.

Price: $170 inc GST


Barefoot Bitless bridle Walnut

Riding without force - for all styles of riding

Our Walnut bitless bridle evenly and smoothly distributes all pressure over the horses nose, his jaw and the poll. This bridle doesn´t apply punctual pressure but ensures painless aids from the reins, thus creating a trusting companionship between horse and rider.
The throatlatches are prolonged reins, which cross under the horse´s chin and through rings that are connected directly to the noseband. This ensures, that all aids are easily understood by the horse. Giving to the bit is more easily achieved, without wrong flexion at the poll or a tilt or twist there. Bitless bridles enable riding with the smallest aids possible, meaning a short impuls with the right rein creates a painfree but distinct pressure to the left side of the horse´s head. The horse moves away from that pressure, therefore turns his head to the right. Short and soft pressure applied with both reins - your horse will give to that and tuck his head.
Can be used for any style of riding: Dressage, Jumping, Western, Endurance or Trailrides - also for lunging. Like with any new bit, try in an enclosed riding arena first. The noseband should be fitted so that it lays 2 cm above the mouth crease - there should be room for two fingers.
Our bitless bridle is extremely smooth: the noseband as well as the browband are padded softly. The crownpiece is extra wide and thickly padded to reduce any pressure on the sensitive acupuncture points behind the ears.

- flexible nubuck buffaloleather
- crowned noseband and browband
- soft neopren padding surrounded by calfskin leather
- crownpiece with decorative stitching
- antirust metal fittings
- Bitless alternative for all riding styles
- soft and even distribution of pressure without any force
- no punctual pressure
- soft nose-, browband and crownpiece padding
- crownpiece padded extra softly and extra wide

The Walnut provides 'Instant release' when you release pressure on the reins and therefore this bridle is an effective training/riding aid.

Sizes: Full or COB in dark brown or black

Price: $170.00 inc GST without reins

Beware of similar style bridles with flat rather than round straps going through the rings. Those will commonly get stuck and will not realease the pressure around your horse's head when you release the pressure on the reins. This type of thing is rather counter productive to any intelligent and humane horse training.

Bridle Syringa 3-in-1

Our Syringa bridle can be used without a bit as side-pull or as a Bitless-Bridle with crossed reins – see below. It is great to be used for ground work or longeing.
Browband and crown-piece are padded softly. The crown-piece is extra wide and thickly padded, so it reduces punctual pressure behind the ears noticeably.

Cross under style function:
Can be used as a cross under style Bitless Bridle, the reins are prolonged and attach to the throat-latch. Thanks to the crossed reins, the aids are easily understood and having the horse give to the bit is much easier achieved. A short impulse on the left rein will apply a soft but distinct pressure onto the right side of the horse's cheek – the horse moves away from that pressure towards the left. A short impulse on both reins or alternating on both will lead your horse to yield.Set up in this way, this bridle like all of this style applies pressure simultaniously around the lower jaw, the sides of the face and on the poll when you pick up the reins. The Syringa has round straps and will provide 'instant release'.

Sidepull function:
If you want to use the Bridle as a side-pull, simply attach the reins to the rings of the nose-band. Then take off the leather bands which run to the throat-latch and are attached with snap-hooks.

Bosal/ Hackamore function: clip the reins to the lower ring of the cheekpiece and you will achieve that the bridle tightens around the lower jaw when you pick up the reins

 

The lovely Syringa can be adjusted on both sides, as well as the chin strap, which is leather-made. Comes with matching reins in a leather-rope combination with snap-hooks.

Barefoot Amber Sidepull Bridle

amber-sidepull

Barefoot Amber sidepull with reins.

Gorgeous plaited leather and nylon sidepull bitless bridle with matching reins. A sidepull relies on nose pressure and is the least severe style of bitless bridle available. They work perfectly for the trail with clear signals for stopping, backing and turning.

Traditionally sidepulls are used to break in horses in southern Europe and South America, the horses learn to yield to minimal pressure on their nose and sides of the face perfectly before the introduction of any style of bit.

A sidepull is not meant to be ridden with continous contact but rather for loose rein riding. Due to no knots sitting on the sensitive facial nerves of the horse a sidepull is more humane than any rope-halter bridle with knots. The release is instant and the control is very good without inflicting any pain.

Price $199.00 inc GST with reins or $135 just for the headstall

available in black'n brown and in orange'n brown
