Horseware Rambo Micklem Competition Bridle

Horse Skull Diagram

1. The noseband sits higher avoiding pressure on the fragile nose bones. The bottom back strap gives similar functionality to a flash noseband.

2. Noseband avoids pressure on the motor and sensory nerves exiting at this point, reducing discomfort and numbness on the lower areas of the head.

3. A shaped, widened and padded headpiece with no separate uncomfortable narrow noseband, spreads the pressure evenly over a wide area of the poll.

4. The shaped cheekpiece fits comfortably around the protruding cheekbones, avoiding unnecessary pressure.

5. The noseband and back straps avoid the protruding molar teeth, so sensitive tissue inside the mouth is not damaged.

 

FITTING YOUR MICKLEM BRIDLE

FITTING THE BIT STRAPS

Fit the bit straps to your bit first, with the buckle on the outside and the end of the strap facing upwards, then attach to the bridle using the bit rings at the bottom of the cheek pieces.

POSITIONING THE FRONT NOSE PIECE

The key to fitting your Rambo® Micklem Bridle is to ensure that the front nosepiece is approx 2 to 3 inches higher than the corners of the mouth and at least six fingers above the nostrils.

DOING THE TOP BACK STRAPS

This should be fastened flush with the skin, not loose like a throat lash.

DOING THE BOTTOM BACK STRAPS

This fits like a standard dropped noseband, underneath the bit and flush with the skin.

FITTING THE TONGUE AND BAR PROTECTOR

Use the appropriate length clips to join the bit to the side rings and you have a unique tongue and bar protection system.
