Spotlight on: Finesse Bridles

Introducing the Finesse Bridle, where tradition meets innovation for unparalleled comfort and style.

​Finesse Bridles stand out as more than just ordinary bridles. Have you ever attempted to slip a finger beneath the headpiece of your bridle once it’s been fastened? It’s nearly impossible to fit a finger underneath, isn’t it?

With a Finesse Bridle, you won’t hace this issue. These bridles feature an entirely distinctive headpiece crafted to evenly distribute and alleviate pressure from the poll on your horse’s neck.

Engineers and specialists have developed the distinctive padding material found in Finesse Bridles. They conducted a decade-long study to discover the ideal pressure-reducing material. This unique material is derived from the technology used in hospital mattresses for bedridden patients to prevent pressure sores. It is not memory foam; rather, it is a specially designed fiber material that maintains blood flow in the body parts that come into contact with it.

A study conducted by Stud.med.vet Katja Gabara, Emilie Gertz, and Dr. Adrian Harrison on 12 Icelandic horses demonstrated that all horses exhibited significantly more free movement throughout their bodies when wearing FinesseBridles® compared to standard bridles.

This is significant because, when working with a FinesseBridle®, horses do not suffer the same number of ‘pain-strikes’—defined as muscle overloads during work. The study examined not only the muscles associated with the neckpiece but also the myofascial lines that affect the horse’s overall movement from the base of the skull to the hindlimbs, specifically m. Splenius and m. Brachiocephalicus.

An article detailing the benefits of FinesseBridles® was published in the OJVM in 2020, a well-regarded scientific journal that features advanced and innovative research from scientists and veterinarians globally.

Cathrine Dufour took part in a study with her seasoned horse, Bohemian, which clearly demonstrated that Bohemian’s balance improved significantly when equipped with a FinesseBridle.

The study specifically included the m. Longissimus dorsi muscle along the horse’s back beneath the saddle, and the m. Rectus abdominis muscle under the horse’s abdomen, to emphasize that using a FinesseBridle undoubtedly enhances the horse’s unrestricted movement
