So what makes our anatomical bridle different from standard bridles?  There are many benefits associated with this type of bridle.  Comfort and performance are the main advantages that this system provides.  This AB takes into consideration the skull shape of a horse and sits higher up on the nose where the bone is thicker.  This helps to avoid unwanted pressure on the molar teeth. Further, the bit is attached to the nose-piece to avoid any pressure on the tongue or bars of the mouth.  This gives greater comfort and helps reduce stress on the horse allowing for longer and more pleasurable riding. 

This AB is particularly beneficial when it comes to sensitive horses that have never really settled in.  Pressure is more evenly distributed over the horses head which reduces friction and the ability to direct may be accomplished with less use of greater force. 

The AB is connected is connected from the headpiece to the noseband. This along with the absence of a throat lash makes not only transporting bridle less “tangly,” but also simplifies putting it on and off.  The ease of putting on the AB tends to be much simpler than standard bridles with a throat lash.
