Riding bridle Paladin

This bridle is designed for the slightly more sensitive dressage horse and shares many features with our Paragon bridle, the biggest difference being the Aachen noseband on this bridle. The bridle is suitable for both dressage and jumping.

• NOSEBAND
  This bridle has a more classic dressage design and is perfect for a horse to which you want to provide more anatomical features than a standard English noseband. The noseband is designed to avoid pressure from the outside on the sensitive teeth and nerves. The curved design of the noseband leaves the cheekbones and sensitive nerve endings completely free. The top strap of the noseband is tightened with a retractable clip, ensuring that the padding underneath is always centred for optimal pressure distribution.

• DIAMOND
  The area around the horse's neck behind the ears is a very sensitive zone with lots of nerves and ligaments. To reduce the pressure of the bridle, we have developed a diamond that is extra wide. The diamond also has a cut-out at the top, which evenly distributes pressure and does not focus on a single point. The diamond is also cut to provide space for the horse's ears - all this to ensure the best possible comfort.

• CHEEK PIECES
  Our cheek pieces are specially designed to reduce pressure on the neck thanks to our elastic CradlesTM. A "cradle" is an additional elastic band on which the bit rests. The elastic band is partly located in the cheek pieces at the bit, but also on our reins. The idea is that they should act elastically and offer greater comfort for the horse, as they should allow the bit to "bounce." This will relieve the teeth and jaws from static pressure. Many believe that horses prefer this type of bridle, and that it can be softer and more respectful of horses than traditional bridles and reins. On this bridle, the seams are rounded and there are also optional "cradles" with a French hook, which allows for easy detachment of the "cradles" when entering the dressage arena.

• HEADPIECE
  The headpiece is U-shaped to avoid pressure on the horse's forehead and eye socket. Today, all our headpieces have an interior covered with rubber, called "anti-slip," which helps keep the headpiece in place and prevents it from sliding down. If that isn’t enough, we also have our beloved Click-ItTM feature, which makes it easy to remove and replace the headpiece as needed, even when the horse is wearing the bridle.

• COMPETITION
  The bridle is approved for competition in all disciplines in Sweden and within the FEI. Don't forget to buy a noseband strap and attach it to your headpiece, and make sure that the vaggas are detached during dressage competitions.
