Bridles & Accessories for horses

Our range of bridles and accessories for horses covers everything you need to correctly and safely equip your horse's head. From classic leather bridles for dressage and show jumping to modern biothane alternatives that withstand wind and weather — here you will find bridles suited to every discipline and rider level. The range also includes reins in various materials and lengths, browbands in plain and decorative styles, and specialist bits for horses with different mouth shapes.

The accessories that complement a bridle are just as important as the bridle itself. Help reins and breast collars assist the horse in finding balance and correct position during training, while carefully selected bits ensure clear communication between horse and rider. Material choice matters greatly — high-quality leather ages beautifully and moulds to the horse, while synthetic materials such as biothane are easy to maintain and tough enough for all weather conditions. Stainless steel buckles and fittings guarantee long-lasting durability.

Whether you ride western or classical English disciplines, train young horses or compete at an advanced level, the right bridle and accessories are available in our shop. Explore the subcategories to find exactly what you are looking for — bridles, reins, browbands, help reins and bits are all arranged for easy browsing. Choose high-quality equipment and give your horse the best possible foundation for comfortable and effective work.

Frequently asked questions about bridles and accessories for horses

What should I consider when choosing a bridle for my horse?

Choose a bridle based on your horse's head shape and your riding discipline — dressage, show jumping and general riding each place different demands on fit and design. Check that the noseband sits correctly and that the bridle width fits your horse's head without chafing. Materials such as leather or biothane affect maintenance requirements and durability. A well-fitting bridle is the foundation for clear communication between horse and rider.

How do I clean bridles and reins properly?

Leather bridles should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and saddle soap to remove sweat and dirt. Always remove the bit and buckles separately and clean them thoroughly in warm water. Always dry the leather properly before applying leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and extend lifespan. Biothane and synthetic materials can usually be cleaned directly with water and a brush.

What is the difference between a standard bit and a mild bit?

A bit's mildness is determined by its shape, thickness and jointed construction — thicker rings and straight bars are generally considered milder. A jointed design distributes pressure more evenly across the horse's mouth, while thin, rigid bits can create more focused pressure. The most important factor is selecting a bit based on the horse's mouth shape and training level, not tradition alone. Consult a professional rider or veterinarian if you are unsure which bit to choose.

What are help reins and why are they used?

Help reins are supplementary training aids used to support the horse's position and balance during work. They limit excessive movement and help the horse to work within a correct and relaxed frame. Common types include side reins, draw reins and market harborough, each suited to different training scenarios. Help reins should always be used with knowledge and care for the horse's wellbeing and stage of training.

How do I choose the right browband for my horse?

A browband's size is measured from ear to ear and should sit comfortably without pressing against the horse's temples. Materials range from plain leather to decorative versions featuring crystals, pearls or contrast-coloured detailing that add expression in the arena. Choose a browband that matches your bridle in style and material for a coherent look. Check regularly that the fastenings have not scratched or damaged the surrounding leather.
