How much do you consider your bridle fit?

We are all aware we should have regular saddle checks and the amount we consider normal to spend on saddles seems to get bigger and bigger but we rarely extend that growing budget to our bridles or think about using a grackle noseband to reduce poll pressure.

Centaur biomechanics and Fairfax are doing some great research into girth’s, saddles and bridles.

To see the effect different nosebands can have on our horses comfort visit The Journal of Equine Veterinary Science website.

The results may not be what you expect.
