FAQs

How do I choose between a bit or bitless bridle?

Your bridle choice can be influenced by the horse you’re riding, and your discipline:

  • Bit bridles use metal mouthpieces for clear, precise cues in competition
  • Bitless bridles apply pressure elsewhere, making them ideal for relieving pressure on the horse's mouth for greater freedom of movement.  

Should I buy a leather or synthetic bridle? 

A leather bridle is the traditional choice, with the pliant material moulding to your horse’s head over time. They require more maintenance to stay in optimal shape, whereas synthetic bridles are budget-friendly and easy to clean after rides.

How should a bridle fit a horse?

Your bridle should be secure and snug, but not tight – you should be able to:

  • Slide a flat hand between the bridle and the top of the head
  • Fit a closed fist between the strap and the horse’s cheek
  • Place two fingers under the nose and on the cheekbone
