DESCRIPTION & FEATURESThe Rambo Micklem Competition Diamante Bridle is 5/8″ cheek Eco-friendly, hand finished ultra soft premium Sedgwick leather.The Rambo Micklem Competition Diamante Bridle features silver coloured buckles, comfortable wider padding across the nose, luxurious diamante effect studs in the browband, a head piece, brow band and cheek pieces, chin and throat strap guard to prevent rubbing. The Rambo Micklem competition bridle is the first bridle or cavesson that has been designed from the inside out, following the shape of the skull itself instead of just from the outward appearance of the head.In particular the Micklem competition bridle avoids any pressure on the facial nerves, the projecting cheek bones or the upper jaw molar teeth. This prevents pressure, both to facial nerves and the sensitive tissues lining the cheeks inside the mouth by a tight fitting cavesson or flash nosebands. The main reason for this is obvious to see when looking at the skull of a horse. The top jaw is considerably wider than the lower jaw and this is true of all horses. The inside of the cheeks are therefore often squashed, bruised and lacerated between the outer edge of the upper jaw teeth on one side and the flash noseband pressing inwards on the other side. In addition it is important to avoid pressure on the delicate, fragile bones at the end of the nose.The Rambo Micklem bridle overcomes all these main areas of discomfort. It also provides a great solution for the many horses who resist because of pain around the frequently damaged bars of the mouth, or hate too much pressure on the tongue and as a result fight the contact or get their tongue over the bit. In addition the weight of the bridle is taken comfortably on a wide and padded headpiece, rather than all the weight going on one narrow noseband strap. The advantages are numerous and your horses will love the difference. The Micklem bridle is a must for anyone with a highly sensetive horse, or one that is difficult to settle (particulalry if even changing the bit has not worked).Rambo Micklem Diamante Competition Bridle English Leather (No reins) features:Hand finished leatherSilver bucklesComfortable padding across the head piece, brow band and on cheek piecesChin and throat strap guard to prevent rubbingNo reinsComfortable wider padding across the noseLuxurious diamante effect studs in the browbandComes with tongue protecting bit clips and 2 sets of bit straps
