Sidepull Anatomical, Edix© Brightstar brown

Comfort-Focused Design

The special crownpiece ensures the ears remain free from pressure, and the throat latch is designed to keep the cheek pieces away from the eyes. Both the crownpiece and the noseband are softly padded and oval-shaped to provide optimal comfort. The crownpiece is adjustable over the horse’s poll, allowing the bridle to be customized to fit each individual horse. Thanks to the uniquely designed crownpiece, throat latch, and cheek pieces, the bridle sits securely on the horse’s head. As a result, a browband is not needed with this bridle.

Bridle Functionality

The EDIX ED2 is a sidepull bridle, where both reins are attached to rings on either side of the horse’s head. The bridle works with a direct release of pressure from the rider’s hands through the reins. When both reins are pulled, or when a subtle, light pressure is applied with both hands, the pressure is transferred directly to the horse’s nose. As soon as the rider releases the reins, the pressure is instantly removed, which is called a direct release. This provides a very clear signal, and most horses respond very well to a sidepull bridle.

When the rider engages the right rein, the bridle lifts slightly off the right side of the horse’s face. The left side of the bridle presses gently against the left side of the head. Combined with seat and leg aids, the horse bends in the desired direction. Thanks to the padded, wide noseband, the pressure is evenly distributed across a larger area, making this a soft and gentle bridle.
