Schockemöhle Headstall SP Isabell Werth Satchmo

Full is the usual size for most warmbloods, Cob is shorter and narrower. Measure your current bridle and compare above all the length of the cheekpieces and the noseband, because a wide headpiece needs the correct length to keep its pressure-spreading effect.

Pay attention to the headpiece when adjusting: it should lie just behind the ears, without pressing against their base. A wide headpiece sitting too far forward loses its advantage. Adjust the noseband so that your horse can chew and swallow freely.

On a sensitive horse you can combine the bridle with a soft poll pad from our range for extra cushioning. For the leather the classic routine applies: wipe down after riding, dry at room temperature away from the heating and use leather soap and leather balm regularly. If you choose the patent version, wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and use no abrasive products on it.

This bridle is intended for dressage riders who compete or are working towards competition, and for horses that benefit from a wide, padded headpiece. The crystal browband makes it suitable for the arena; the construction makes it just as usable at home.

If you want something more understated without crystals, our range includes dressage bridles with a quieter finish. If you are specifically after a bridle with a flash strap, choose a model where that strap is explicitly mentioned: for this model the noseband type is not stated.

Place the headpiece just behind the ears without it pressing against the base of the ears: a wide headpiece that sits too far forward loses its advantage. Adjust the noseband so your horse can chew and swallow freely. Reins are not included.

Wipe the leather down after riding, let it dry at room temperature away from the radiator, and use leather soap and leather balm regularly. Wipe the patent version with a soft, lightly damp cloth, without abrasive products.

Are the reins included?
No, the reins are not supplied and are chosen separately.

Which size should I take?
Full for most warmbloods, Cob for a finer or shorter head. Compare the cheekpieces and noseband with your current bridle.

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 type is not stated. What is certain is that the noseband is specially shaped to follow the lines of the head and not to interfere with the bit.

In which colours is this bridle available?
In Black, Black Patent, Black/White and Espresso.

What makes this headpiece different from an ordinary one?
It is wider and more generously padded, so the weight and pressure are spread across a larger surface of the poll.

Is this bridle only meant for competition?
No. It is designed for dressage and is used both at shows and in daily training.

How do I care for the leather?
Wipe down after riding, let it dry at room temperature and treat regularly with leather soap and leather balm. Patent leather is wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
