There are at least five fit components of a bridle that need to be done correctly to fit all of a horse's structure well. They are:

1. Poll/atlas

2. Cartilage at the base of the ears

3. Molars

4. Nasal bones and air passages

5. TMJ (temporomandibular joint) - the connection between the skull and jaw, a critical area that allows a horse to relax its jaw

Many traditional bridles miss the mark on all five of these areas with high pressure on the ear cartilage, digging the molars into the cheeks, restricting nasal passages and causing pressure on the sensitive nerves around the TMJ.

The Better Bridle addresses all of these problem areas with a handful of industry firsts, like an articulating nose band, adjustable brow band, a pivoting throat latch and a unique crown design to protect the atlas and ears.
