Bridle with adjustable German noseband New English Collection

Choose your size based on the noseband circumference and the cheekpiece length: Pony for ponies and small horses, Cob for medium-sized horses and Full for the average warmblood. Because the noseband is adjustable, you have more play within each size than on a bridle with fixed hole positions.

When fitting, let the S-headpiece lie freely around the base of the ears, without pushing it forward. Keep at least two fingers of room between the noseband and the nasal bone; the adjustability is there to position the strap correctly, not to set it tighter.

Vegetable-tanned leather needs feeding regularly. Wipe the bridle down dry after every ride, clean it every few weeks with leather soap and afterwards apply a thin layer of leather balm. Build that up slowly instead of using a lot of grease at once. Store the bridle dry and airy, and let it dry quietly at room temperature after a wet ride, never next to a heat source.

This bridle suits riders who care about leather quality and about a precisely adjusted noseband, and who prefer a plain, classic look over decoration. It is a good choice for daily work and for competition, in the brown that most riders wear with classic tack.

If you want a black bridle, look at another model in our range, because this one is offered in brown. If you are looking for a browband with crystals, other lines suit that better. And if you would rather have a noseband whose type is fixed, for instance a combined noseband or a grackle noseband, let us know; then we will look for the right model together.

Let the S-headpiece lie freely around the base of the ears, without pushing it forward. Keep at least two fingers of room between the noseband and the nasal bone: the adjustability is there to position the strap correctly, not to set it tighter. Reins are not included.

Vegetable-tanned leather dries out faster if you neglect it. Wipe it down dry after every ride, clean it every few weeks with leather soap and then apply a thin layer of leather balm. After a wet ride, let it dry at room temperature, never next to a heat source.

Are the reins included?
No, the reins are not included. You choose the type that suits your discipline and your preference yourself.

Which size should I take?
Pony for ponies and small horses, Cob for medium-sized horses, Full for the average warmblood. Compare the noseband circumference and cheekpiece length with a bridle that fits well.

Does this bridle come in other sizes?
The sizes we stock as standard are listed under the technical specifications. Other sizes can be ordered in on request.

What type of noseband does this bridle have?
The product information mentions an adjustable German noseband. Whether a flash strap belongs to it is not stated; feel free to ask us.

What does vegetable-tanned leather mean?
The leather is tanned with plant tannins instead of chrome salts. It feels supple quickly, shapes itself to the head and gains a deeper colour over the years, but it needs feeding regularly.

How do I care for this leather?
Wipe down dry after every ride, clean every few weeks with leather soap and afterwards apply a thin layer of leather balm. Let wet leather dry quietly at room temperature.

Which colour is this bridle available in?
In brown.
