The Collegiate ComFiTec Bridle Collection

Anatomical bridles have grown in popularity over the past few years as we horse riders try to ensure our horses are as comfortable as possible. The Collegiate ComFiTec bridlewear collection has been designed with the horse's facial anatomy in mind to create a bridle that is high quality, comfortable, durable and affordable - great for you, and your horse.

The Collegiate ComFiTec Bridle Collection

As horse owners/riders we are always looking to make sure our horses are as comfortable as possible when ridden. Bridles have come a long way over the last few years, with “anatomical” designs now being a more popular choice. These bridles have been designed around the anatomy of the horse’s head to avoid the main areas of facial nerves, preventing areas of pressure and discomfort. Padding and shaping helps to distribute pressure evenly across areas such as the poll and nose, increasing the horse’s comfort levels.

The Collegiate ComFiTec bridlewear collection has been designed with these aspects in mind to create a bridle that is high quality, comfortable, durable and affordable.

ComFiTec bridles are available in four designs in black or havanna, and in sizes Pony, Cob, Full or Warmblood, helping you to find the right bridle to suit your horse:

- Collegiate ComFiTec Training Bridle:

The Training Bridle is an entry-level ComFiTec bridle which is ideal for everyday use as well as competition use. Retailing at below £100, this bridle is an affordable option for most riders.

- Collegiate ComFiTec Crystal Bridle:

For riders who prefer detailing for their bridle, the Crystal Bridle comes with a beautiful, eye-catching crystal browband.

- Collegiate ComFiTec Patent Bridle:

As its name suggests, the Patent Bridle is beautifully finished with patent leather to the noseband for a smart finish. It also features a shaped crystal browband for eye-catching detail. This bridle is a great option for competition use.

- Collegiate ComFiTec Sheepskin Bridle:

Sensitive horses may benefit from the additional comfort offered by the Sheepskin Bridle. The noseband features a removable sheepskin piece, ideal for horses showing facial sensitivity.

Design Features

All ComFiTec bridles are manufactured with high quality European leather which is soft and supple.

The headpiece is anatomically shaped, evenly distributing pressure across the poll for comfort. Double padding directly over the poll area minimises any pressure. The headpiece is cut away around the horse’s ears and softly padded, allowing as much room and freedom of movement for the ears as possible. Minimising poll pressure increases comfort and acceptance of the horse, allowing him to work comfortable in a more correct frame. Allowing natural movement of the ears reduces the risk of pinching to sensitive areas and lets the horse react as naturally as possible without restriction.

The curved browband sits off the horse’s forehead when correctly fitted, preventing any pressure points to the temples.

The ergonomically designed noseband is shaped to alleviate any pressure against the upper jaw and molar teeth, which can be the case in conventional nosebands, specifically if they are excessively tight. The rolled leather cheek strap and padded cheek ring are positioned to relieve pressure to the facial nerves, further enhancing the horse’s comfort.

ComFiTec bridles are FEI, British Dressage and British Eventing approved (apart from the Sheepskin Bridle, due to the fleece noseband).
