Why should you use the FreeSpace Bridle?
The FreeSpace Bridle is designed to give space and support for the horse to work in a consistent and still contact allowing better balance and rhythm. The bridle does not impinge on facial nerves, blood vessels, the TMJ nor over the poll.
The anatomical headpiece has soft and adjustable padding creating a central space or gap for the occipital bone and associated Nuchal Ligament. The nuchal ligament provides both stability and elasticity to the dorsal part of the cervical spinal column and links to the supraspinous ligament that supports the back under the saddle.  
The adjustable FreeSpace Browband prevents the head piece being pulled into the base of the ears compressing the ear muscles. Restriction of the movement of the ear will cause discomfort and stress increasing the horse’s adrenaline levels.
The headpiece padding also holds the bridle away from the prominent TMJ joint. The TMJ joint is a major junction for ligaments that effect not just the horses head but the entire body. Pressure on the TMJ joint affects the muscles down its neck, through the thoracic sling, as well as the pectoral muscles and the rectus Abdominus muscles.  These are all part of the apparatus enabling the horse to engage his quarters to lift his back and also maintain balance in corners when turning. 
The cheek pieces are held away from the sides of the face by the noseband which is not tight. When fitted correctly there is space between the cheek straps, the noseband, and the horse’s head. 
Noseband with space at the sides allows the horse to move their Jaw. The nose band is supported on the nasal bone and at the lower jaw by shaped, soft but supportive foam pads. Overtight nosebands compressing the side of the face cause tenson in the jaw and unsteady head carriage.
Unique, innovative buckles positioned away from facial nerves and blood vessels are quick and easy to adjust. 
Plain or pretty. Made in plain black or dark brown the nose band and browbands can have a wide range of optional decorative inserts shown on the website.
