What types of bridles are there?
There are different types of bridlesthat vary in their construction and use. Below you will find a small overview of the different bridlesand headstallsand some tips for correct use.
The English bridle
With this bridle, the nosebandis positioned about two fingers' width below the cheekbone. The chin straptherefore runs above the bit. The English bridleis one of the classic pieces of tack because it allows for optimal positioning of the bitin the horse's mouth. The reinsact on the bridge of the horse's nose via the noseband, so that it reacts to the pressure by yielding at the poll. Generally, the horse reacts faster to the rein aids of the English bridle, and it allows for more subtle aids for the rider. The English bridleis very often used in combination with a double bridle.
The English combined bridle
In contrast to the English bridle, the English combined bridle also has a flash strapin addition to the poll, cheek, nose, and throat straps, which lies below the bit. However, it is not intended to muzzle the animal, but merely to prevent the animal from opening its mouth wide. The English combined bridleis one of the most commonly used bridlesin this country. It is so popular because the horsereacts faster and more subtle aids are possible. This bridle combines the advantages of the English and Hanoverian bridles.
The Hanoverian bridle
The Hanoverian bridleconsists of a cheekpiece and a poll piece. The chin strap of this bridleruns below the bit. This bridlewas originally developed to prevent the horsefrom shifting its mouth to evade rein aids. When fitted correctly, the noseband of this bridle is positioned about 4 to 5 fingers above the nostrils and is fastened in the chin groove below the bit rings.
The Mexican bridle
The Mexican bridleis also known as a figure-eight bridle because it has a flash strapthat crosses on the nose. The nosebandis set very high and runs diagonally over the horse'snasal bone. At the point where the flash strapscross, there is soft padding to spare the animal uncomfortable pressure on the nasal bone. This bridle is very often used in show jumping.
