Why an anatomical snaffle is particularly good for your Icelandic horse
In equestrian sport, communication between you and your Icelandic horse is crucial. One of the most important tools for giving your Icelandic horse the right signals is therefore the snaffle. Choosing the right snaffle bridle for your Icelandic horse is therefore crucial for horse-friendly riding. Our anatomical bridle is adapted to the horse’s needs. Muscles, tendons and nerves run from the neck to the back of your Icelandic horse. If too much pressure leads to tension and blockages in the neck and throat area, this can have an impact on the back and topline.
In Icelandic horses in particular, the bridle often exerts additional pressure on the neck due to a voluminous mane and mop of hair. The 2-part headpiece of our anatomical Fjóla snaffle therefore reduces the pressure on the poll and sensitive nerves. The gap provides additional space for the poll. The curved shape gives your Icelandic horse’s ears more space.
Anatomical snaffles especially for Icelandic horses
Our anatomical noseband is designed in such a way that, when adjusted correctly, important arteries in the cheekbone area remain free and your Icelandic horse’s breathing is therefore not restricted. It also offers enough space for the bit ring and thus prevents chafing on the horse’s sensitive mouth. The pressure is therefore evenly distributed through the side rings of the flash strap.
All our bridles are specially developed for Icelandic horses. Our employees have many years of riding experience and use their in-depth specialist knowledge in product development. Our quality standards are high and every product is designed with the special needs and anatomy of Icelandic horses in mind. Our high-quality leather and soft padding therefore guarantee optimum comfort for your Icelandic horse.
Long-lasting enjoyment of the bridle thanks to leather care
Long-term care is important to ensure that you and your Icelandic horse can enjoy your bridle for a long time. Because without the right care, even very high-quality leather will crack over time and become susceptible to breakage. Permanent exposure to sunlight or mold infestation due to damp storage damage the material and should therefore be avoided at all costs. Incorrect leather care with too much saddle soap can also damage the leather. Check out more tips on care here. Are you looking for the right Icelandic horse accessories?
