Dy'on New English Collection "Difference" Bridle

Dy'on New English Collection "Difference" Bridle

The Difference Bridle is specially designed for horses experiencing pressure points at the base of the ears and on the first cervical vertebra (C1). Its one-piece headpiece and browband distribute pressure more evenly, while the throatlatch, connected to the noseband, ensures stability and prevents unwanted pressure. By positioning the headpiece further back, this bridle releases tension behind the ears, promoting comfort and relaxation.

• One-piece headpiece and browband to relieve pressure behind the ears
• Throatlatch connected to the noseband for stability and proper positioning
• Ideal for horses with C1-related discomfort or poll sensitivity
• Must be properly adjusted: a whole hand should fit behind the base of the ears
• Dy'on premium leather for durability and comfort

Benefits

The Difference Bridle is an innovative solution for horses struggling with discomfort behind the ears and at the poll. By positioning the headpiece further back, it reduces pressure on the occipital area and C1 vertebra, making it an excellent choice for horses that react negatively to traditional bridles. The throatlatch, connected to the noseband, keeps the bridle securely in place while avoiding unnecessary restriction.

This bridle is only effective for horses with pressure-related discomfort behind the ears. If your horse does not show signs of C1 sensitivity, this bridle will not offer additional benefits. It is recommended to consult your veterinarian or chiropractor to determine whether your horse would benefit from this design.

Use

The Difference Bridle is suitable for competition and daily training, particularly for horses that struggle with poll pressure and sensitivity behind the ears. Proper adjustment is key:

• The headpiece must sit further back, allowing a whole hand to fit behind the base of the ears.
• The throatlatch should be firmly adjusted against the cheeks to keep the bridle in place.
• This unique design helps horses release tension, promoting greater relaxation and comfort in work.

Ergonomics

This bridle is engineered with anatomical precision, ensuring an optimal pressure-free fit for sensitive horses. By shifting the headpiece away from the ears, it reduces poll pressure, while the throatlatch-to-noseband connection maintains stability without restricting movement. Made from high-quality Dy’on leather, this bridle provides the perfect balance of comfort, durability, and functionality for horses in need of a specialized fit.
