Avante Anatomical Bridle

Our padded Avante anatomical bridle is designed based on the horse's skull conformation, to increase comfort and minimise pressure on important facial nerves, the Facial Crest bone, Temporal Muscles, TMJ, the Poll, ear muscles and upper molar teeth/inside cheek interface. It is BE, BS and BE approved and suitable for all ridden disciplines. 

All our anatomical bridles are designed with the horse's comfort and fit as a priority and are unique to our brands. A comfortable horse is a more willing partner and the right bridle fit will improve performance as well.

The padded anatomical headpiece is designed with a wider poll section, which also has the central padding removed, at the top, to eliminate pressure on the sensitive poll and Nuchal Ligament. It has generous ear cutouts to avoid irritation and pressure on the nerves and muscles at the back of the ears. You can also choose a different headpiece to fit this bridle from our anatomical headpiece range if it fits your horse better. Contact us for advice.

The unique shaped noseband sits higher on the face, to avoid pressure on the thin lower nasal bone. Its swept design ensures that it also avoids contact with the sensitive bones of the Facial Crest. It does not put any pressure on senstitive nerves and blood vessels and also keeps the upper molar edges away from the cheeks, eliminating the pressure of teeth pushing into the inner cheeks. This is acheived due to the specific positioning of the ergonomic padding, which creates a gap that spans the teeth/cheek interface. Ours is the only anatomical noseband that has this comfort feature.
It's anatomical shape also allows space on the face for the bit rings to operate independently. This eliminates bit interference and subsequent irritation and confusing bit signals to the mouth.

The browband is shaped flat at the front, so that it follows the contours of the front of the head, preventing 'Squeeze' pressure points on the Temporal Muscles. It is also a 'Quick-Click' design for easy on/off fitting.

The cheekpieces have buckles that are positioned away from the TMJ, reducing pressure and discomfort.

The throatlash design wraps around the cheeks, not the throat, preventing obstruction to the airways and swallowing which is possible with traditionally placed throatlashes.

Available in mix and match sizes, like our other bridles, although the cheekpieces only have a buckle option in the Economy range.

The Italian Leather Avante anatomical bridle parts can be interchanged with any parts from all our other bridle designs, except the Titan range, which has wider hangers and cheekpieces.

We offer a free Remote Bridle Fitting service to make sure that the style you choose offers the maximum comfort to your horse.
