WHY FINESSE

EXPLORE THE INNOVATIVE DESIGN

More than ordinary bridles.

​Have you ever attempted to slip a finger beneath the neckpiece of your bridle once it’s been fastened? It’s nearly impossible to fit a finger underneath, isn’t it?

 

With a Finesse Bridle, you won’t have this issue.

Unique headpiece crafted to evenly distribute and alleviate pressure from the poll on your horse’s neck

Specially-designed padding that maintains blood flow under contact points

Hand made with high-quality vegetable tanned European leather

Research-Backed Comfort

A study conducted by Stud.med.vet Katja Gabara, Emilie Gertz, and Dr. Adrian Harrison on 12 Icelandic horses demonstrated that all horses exhibited significantly more free movement throughout their bodies when wearing FinesseBridles® compared to standard bridles.

 

When working with a FinesseBridle®, horses do not suffer the same number of ‘pain-strikes’—defined as muscle overloads during work. The study examined not only the muscles associated with the neckpiece but also the myofascial lines that affect the horse’s overall movement from the base of the skull to the hindlimbs, specifically m. Splenius and m. Brachiocephalicus.

 

An article detailing the benefits of FinesseBridles® was published in the OJVM in 2020, a well-regarded scientific journal that features advanced and innovative research from scientists and veterinarians globally.
