This Comfort Crown bridle takes the dressage horses comfort seriously. The crown has thicker padding on either side of the pole to reduce the pressure on top. The hybrid noseband (a cross between a flash and figure 8) has a unique softly padded flash strap, and comfortable chin pad. The new version of "Soft Touch" rubber reins have an indentation placed strategically along the length of the rubber to provide a nice soft imprint to place the thumb for a sure but soft grip.
