Micklem 2.0 Competition Bridle
The Micklem 2.0 Competition Bridle is anatomically engineered to maximize your horse’s comfort and performance. By reshaping pressure distribution, this bridle reduces strain on sensitive facial nerves, the poll, and the ears while relieving pressure under the tongue and from low-fitting nosebands. The result is improved breathing comfort, less risk of internal mouth damage, and reduced numbness in the lower face—helping your horse stay relaxed and responsive in the ring or the arena.
Features:
- Premium, environmentally friendly leather that is REACH compliant
- New curved headpiece and nosepiece designed to relieve pressure and improve comfort
- Revised lower back straps and updated upper back straps for a more ergonomic fit
- Higher-positioned attachment points that pull the cheekpiece slightly back to keep the headpiece and cheekpiece clear of the ears
- Longer and slightly wider bit straps for improved bit fit and stability
- Refined buckles and softened angles across the bridle for gentler contact
- Generous premium padding for added comfort and reduced rubbing
- Comes complete with reins for a ready-to-ride setup
Design & Fit:
The Micklem 2.0 follows the horse’s anatomy to avoid the common pressure points caused by traditional bridles. Curved head and nose pieces together with repositioned attachment points reduce compression on nerves and keep the cheekpieces off the ears. Longer, slightly wider bit straps and improved back straps create a balanced fit that reduces tongue and mouth pressure while maintaining secure bit placement for confident control.
Color Options:
- Black: Classic, show-ready finish that pairs well with any tack.
- Havana: Rich, warm leather tone with the same premium construction and comfort features.
Why Riders Choose Micklem 2.0:
