Description
A beautifully designed and hand-machined EDIX ED2 side-pull bitless bridle in Argentinian leather, from the Rose collection of EDIX items. Leather reins included!
The special headpiece ensures that no pressure is put on the ears, and the trotter strap is positioned so that the leathers stay away from the eyes. The headpiece and noseband are lightly padded and oval-shaped for added comfort. The headpiece is adjustable with buckles.
EDIX ED2 is a side-pull bridle, where both reins are attached to rings on either side of the horse's muzzle. The bridle works with a direct release of any pressure exerted by the rider through the reins. When you pull on both reins or, more finely, when you exert light pressure with both hands on the reins, this pressure is exerted on the horse's nose. When you release this pressure on the reins, the pressure immediately disappears from the horse's nose, a so-called direct release. It's a very clear signal, and most horses, young horses but also horses used to the bit, do very well with a side-pull bridle. By pulling on the right rein, the bridle pulls slightly away from the cheek and the opposite side, the left side of the bridle, pushes against the left cheek, which, combined with your sitting aids, allows your horse to lean in the desired direction. The noseband is wide and softly padded, so the impact on your horse's nose is limited and gentle.
At EDIX, we recommend that you equip your horses with a browbandless bridle! You don't need a browband to keep the bridle stable on your horse, and by having a browbandless bridle, you ensure that there's no pressure behind the ears and on the occipital bone.
Plus, we think less is more, and how nice is it to see more of your horse's face without a browband?
The side pull fits like a normal bridle. The noseband should be about four fingers from the top of your horse's mouth. It should be high enough not to rest on the cartilage of the nose or on the tips of the nose bones themselves. The higher the chin strap, the gentler the action. The chin strap should be raised, but make sure the horse can still open his mouth comfortably, without loosening it, otherwise the bridle will start to hang down and your cues won't be clear.
EDIX ED2 bridles are available in 4 colors and 5 sizes and come with refined leather reins. If you prefer a different type of reins, please mention it when you place your order. You can choose between non-slip, leather, split reins and length is also optional)
If your horse has a different head shape and it's difficult for you to adapt it to the standard sizes, let us know, we can change the parts forautres sizes, at no extra charge!
