Jeffries Gentle Headpiece-Full Size-Black

Head piece is curved to take pressure away from the sensitive base of the ears and is padded inside to shift pressure away from the poll and the tempo-mandibular joint (large hinged joint of the jaw situated at the base of the ears on the side of the head).

All points of contact with the horse on the Gentle bridle are padded with either latex or neoprene and lined with the softest leather for the horses comfort. Part of the planning for the design was based on keeping the action of the bit separate from the nose band so the bit could have the intended action without creating pressure elsewhere. For this reason, the cheek pieces are fitted in the conventional way and take the signal from the reins direct to the lips, tongue, bars, cheeks and poll.
