Difference Bridle – Designed for Horses Sensitive at C1 and Behind the Ears
The Difference Bridle is specially developed for horses that experience pressure or discomfort at the base of the ears and the first cervical vertebra (C1).
The one-piece headpiece and browband distribute pressure more evenly, while the throatlash connected to the noseband keeps the bridle stable and prevents unwanted pressure.
Because the headpiece sits further back than in traditional bridles, it helps release tension behind the ears and increases comfort and relaxation.
