Graysville MFG Customs realizes that the choice of the right bridle for your horse is a very important decision. The comfort, the control, and the performance of the horse are the most influential factors and, with that in mind, the cooperation between you and the horse can be both efficient and easier.
What Is a Horse Bridle?
Okay, let's see. A horse bridle… what is it? A horse bridle is a traditional riding gear that is used to give directions and signals to the horse during riding. It is placed over the horse's head and usually holds the bit and reins thus allowing the rider to maneuver the horse easily and correctly.
There are many shapes and types of bridles and of course, a variety of materials are used for their production. Many of them are specifically designed for a particular discipline of horseback riding, starting from the most primitive riding along the trails of nature to much more advanced forms of sports such as dressage and jumping.
What Makes a Good Bridle for Horse?
You decide to purchase a bridle for your horse. That’s a fact. But, what are the necessary conditions that a good bridle for horse must-be? Choosing the bridle that is right for your horse refers to different aspects of it as the horse’s comfort, the riding style that you follow, and the level of control that you may wish to have are some of the principal items that have to be taken into account:
- Fit and adjustability: The bridle should be snug and the parts should be adjustable to fit properly on the horse without causing trauma.
- Material: Leather bridles ensure long-time quality; you also get a stylish, classic look plus synthetic if you want only the options that are lightweight and require very little maintenance.
- Bit compatibility: For the bridle and bit to work together perfectly, the bridle has to be the one compatible with a group of bits.
Introducing the Hackamore Bridle: Bitless Control and Comfort
One of the well-liked and talked-about choice amongst horse lovers is the hackamore bridle. Instead of a bit in the horse's mouth, the hackamores use pressure points at the horse's nose and jaw for control.
Benefits of a Hackamore Bridle:
- Soft on the horse's mouth: The horse is helped greatly if its mouth is susceptible or suffering from dental issues.
- Allows for natural head carriage: Supports the horse to stay light and become sensitive.
- Utility: This is the right gear for the ones who are into the training of juvenile horses or looking for a no-bit riding experience.
Varieties of Hackamore Bridles:
- Mechanical Hackamores: Use force generated by the lever and shanks to create pressure.
- Bosal Hackamores: An old style with a braided rawhide noseband.
- Sidepull Hackamores: Do not require the levers and operate on a direct action principle, and are perfect for inexperienced riders.
