Research shows that horses with sensitive poles can benefit from this type of bridle that does not touch the top of the horses head. The area that rests behind the ears is well padded and raises the crown to reduce contact with the pole area. The hybrid noseband (a cross between a flash and figure 8) has a unique softly padded flash strap, and comfortable chin pad. The new rubber reins have an indentation placed strategically along the length of the rubber to provide a nice soft imprint to place the thumb. ** USEF rules prohibit this style for competition, but this bridle make a nice addition to your tack room to allow your horses to train in comfort.
