Horseware Ireland Micklem 2 Competition Bridle - Dark Havana / Large Cob

The Horseware Micklem 2 Competition Bridle represents a significant advancement in equine comfort, building upon the original Micklem design with several enhancements to ensure your horse performs at their peak. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this bridle is engineered to address the five main areas of discomfort often experienced by horses. Micklem reduces pressure from 5 points: Poll & Ears: The Micklem Bridle alleviates pressure on your horse's sensitive poll and ears, reducing discomfort and tension during performance. TMJ Area (Temporomandibular Joint): By minimizing pressure on the TMJ area, the bridle enhances comfort and encourages relaxation for your horse. Sensitive Nerve in Front of Face / Cheek Bone: The bridle's design takes into account the sensitivity of this area, ensuring a gentle and comfortable fit. Protruding Molars and Sensitive Tissue Inside the Mouth: Micklem Bridle's construction minimizes internal mouth damage, promoting oral health and comfort. Delicate Tip of the Nasal Bone: Special attention is given to this area to prevent discomfort and ensure a comfortable fit for your horse. By eliminating pressure on the nerves, ears, and poll, and minimising internal mouth damage, the Micklem Bridle prioritizes your horse's well-being. It effectively mitigates numbness in the lower facial region caused by nerve pressure and prevents breathing restriction associated with traditional nosebands. The bridle's anatomically shaped headpiece mirrors the contours of your horse's head, providing a comfortable fit around the ears. Additionally, a wider nosepiece distributes pressure more evenly across the nose, enhancing overall comfort. Innovative design elements, such as curved back straps and strategically positioned upper back straps, further contribute to the bridle's comfort. These subtle adjustments significantly improve fit and reduce pressure around sensitive areas, ensuring your horse remains relaxed and focused. Crafted from DD Eco leather, the Micklem Bridle combines durability with environmental sustainability. The vegetable-tanned leather not only minimises environmental impact but also conforms to REACH compliance standards. With refined roller buckles and softened angles throughout, the Micklem 2 Competition Bridle exudes elegance and sophistication.
