Sliding lock bridles for horses Stübben Freedom II

Product Description

Discover the new generation of the Freedom bridle - the Freedom II. With its completely redesigned look, it sets new standards for the horse's well-being and comfort. Total freedom of movement for the ears: The Freedom bridle is one of a kind in how it respects your horse’s anatomy and biomechanics. The ears, apart from being extremely mobile and sensitive, are the main means of communication for horses alongside their eyes. That’s why the Freedom bridle has been designed so that its headpiece or browband does not rest on any of the 16 muscles in the horse's ears. Additionally, since no pressure is applied to the nerves or veins, the Freedom bridle offers complete freedom of movement for the ears. Joy of movement and motivation: Thanks to the specific placement of the headpiece and throat latch, no pressure is exerted on the nape or neck. By sparing these sensitive areas, the horse's flight instincts are less likely to be triggered. Rather than causing rejection and discomfort, the Freedom bridle allows the horse to express its joy of movement and desire to work without hindrance. Some inherent stress factors associated with the use of conventional bridles are thus avoided. Clear field of vision: On a conventional bridle, the cheekpieces often limit the horse’s field of vision to the rear. On the Freedom bridle, the innovative positioning of the cheekpieces allows for the full width of the field of vision to be preserved: their curved shape clears the eyes and helps spare the sensitive nerves surrounding them. A completely reimagined bridle: The Freedom bridle has been completely reworked in collaboration with an equine dentist to make it even more comfortable for horses while improving its cut for an optimal fit:

• the headpiece has been moved back and its centre has been slimmed to better spare the ears and nape
• this more rearward position of the bridle further opens up the field of vision
• extra soft padding has been added around the ears for even more comfort
• the leather piece located at the back of the noseband, the chin strap, has been improved: its padding is softer and its shape better respects the horse's anatomy, with different dimensions suited for each size
• the cheekpieces have been revised so that their curve is consistent from the headpiece to the bit
• the shape and adjustment options of the headpiece ensure that it always follows the shape of the base of the ears, regardless of the horse's morphology
• the noseband has been widened and its padding made softer for greater comfort and a more harmonious visual appearance
• the lack of padding on a small part of the sides of the noseband helps avoid pressure points at the molars
• the unique cheekpiece, which serves both the noseband and the bit, helps optimize the fit of the bridle while improving its aesthetic appeal by reducing the amount of material on the horse’s head
• the browband, which is now curved, has been refined for a more delicate appearance
• the fit of the bridle has been optimized thanks to a complete review of measurements and cuts for each size
• the reworked version of the Freedom bridle is equipped with the new Slide&Lock buckles
