About this bridle
Some bridles ask for attention, others simply do their job. The Salcombe belongs to the second group. The line is classic: a noseband with a raised square finish, fine decorative stitching and off-white contrast stitching that lifts the leather just enough. On the black version that contrast reads as understated, on the Oak version it looks warmer.
The headpiece is anatomically shaped and softly padded, with extra room behind the ears. The weight of the bridle is carried across a wider area and the whole thing stays in place, even during longer or more intensive sessions.
The noseband is softly padded. That lining spreads the pressure evenly across the nose instead of concentrating it on the edges of the strap. A horse that feels comfortable in the head finds a calm, steady contact more easily, and that is exactly what you want in everyday work.
The flash strap runs under the bit and comes with a buckle guard. That is a piece of leather that sits between the buckle and your horse's head, so the buckle never presses directly against the skin around the mouth. A small detail, but one of the spots where a bridle takes the most wear.
The buckles are nickel-plated brass with a silver finish. Brass does not rust, and the nickel plating gives the silver colour while keeping the buckles smooth in use. Everything is made from supple Italian leather that feels pleasant from the first ride and slowly moulds to your horse's head.
You choose between Black/Silver and Oak/Silver, in sizes Cob and Full. Reins are not supplied, so you decide for yourself which type of rein you ride with.
