About Bridle2Fit
Developed in the field, not at the drawing board.
Bridle2Fit was developed through a collaboration between equine dentists, bit fitters, and veterinarians at the Veterinary Equine Dental Center (VPGC).
In the course of their work, they regularly saw horses experiencing discomfort caused by an ill-fitting bridle or bit. While a well-fitting saddle is a given for many riders, the importance of a well-fitting bridle is often underestimated.
Why It Matters
Why a Well-Fitting Bridle Is Essential
The horse’s head contains important muscle and nerve origins that influence the movement of the entire body. For example:
- The atlas (C1), where the skull meets the spine.
- The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), located below the ears on the sides of the head.
A poorly fitting or too-tight bridle can cause pain and discomfort. This can result in evasive behavior, poor posture (such as a false neck bend), and a negative impact on movement. The same applies to a poorly fitting bit.
The problem
Not a standard horse head? No problem!
Many bridles are made in standard sizes, even though every horse is unique. This often leads to:
Mix & Match
Bridle2Fit: Mix & Match for the Perfect Fit
Bridle2Fit offers a unique mix-and-match concept. Each bridle can be fully customized to the shape and size of the horse’s head. The components are interchangeable and replaceable, so you can always put together a bridle that fits perfectly.
Leading Figures
Anatomically shaped to accommodate different head shapes and sensitivities.
Nose straps
Various styles, with or without a girth, tailored to the horse’s needs.
Baking Pan Pieces
Available in multiple sizes to position buckles at the correct height and prevent pressure points.
Even if your horse doesn’t fit standard sizes, that’s not a problem. For example, you can combine a cob-sized noseband with a medium headstall for the perfect fit.
Innovation
Innovation and Customization for Every Horse
Bridle2Fit continues to innovate and is constantly searching for new solutions to optimize bridle comfort for horses. Want to ride bitless? Then you can easily add a bitless noseband to your bridle.
Two ways
Take your own measurements or contact a retailer
You can measure your horse yourself, but if you’d prefer expert advice, you can have a bridle fitter come to you. Many bridle fitters are also equine dentists or bit fitters and can provide you with comprehensive advice on your horse’s well-being.
Build Your Own
Put together your bridle, piece by piece.
