Here is a link so you canfind out more on the leather tanning process.

There are seven main areas of contact by the bridle on the horses head.

  • The poll ( top of the head )
  • The nose, lip and ,Curb 
  • The bars, the soft gum tissue between the incisors and the molars on the lower jaw.
  • The tongue.
  • The roof of the mouth.

Most chiropractors are in agreement that the most sensitive pressure point is the poll.  The atlas is the first place to be bruised over a period of time. The average bridle applies pressure from the headpiece and noseband.  The Richard Castelow patented government bridles eliminate this direct pressure.

Our bridles are manufactured to order if you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact us.
