Double Bridles: The Ultimate Combination of Comfort and Control
When it comes to horse-riding equipment, double bridles are the ultimate combination of comfort and control. Double bridles are a type of bridle that feature two sets of bits, making it possible to apply independent pressure to different parts of the horse’s mouth for more precise guidance and control. A double bridle is made up of a basic bar and snaffle bridle, and either a Dy'on, Epplejeck or a Passier double bridle.
More about a double bridle
The basic bar and snaffle bridle is the most widely used type of bridle and consists of a headpiece, browband, cheekpieces, throat latch, and two bits: a snaffle bit and a curb bit. The snaffle bit is used to apply direct pressure to the horse’s tongue and bars, while the curb bit is used to apply pressure to the poll and jaw.
The Weymouth bridle is a type of double bridle that features a curb bit with an attached bradoon, a second snaffle bit. The curb bit is used to apply pressure to the poll and jaw, while the bradoon applies pressure to the tongue and bars. The Weymouth bridle is often used for dressage, eventing, and other precision riding styles.
The Passier double bridle is also a type of double bridle, but it features a more elaborate design than the Weymouth bridle. The Passier double bridle consists of a headpiece, browband, cheekpieces, throat latch, and three bits: a snaffle bit, a curb bit, and a bradoon. The curb bit is used to apply pressure to the poll and jaw, while the snaffle bit and bradoon are used to apply direct pressure to the tongue and bars. The Passier double bridle is often used for dressage, show-jumping and other more advanced riding styles.
