Tack and Togs - Double Bridles for Sale
|
A double bridle is, in the most basic sense, a bridle with two bits. It doesn't consist of two bridles as some mistakenly suppose, but has two headpieces and two pairs of reins. The extra headpiece, known as a slip head, is in reality two straps connected by a buckle with cheek attachments for a bit on each end, it is not as wide as a normal headpiece and has no throat lash attached. The two cheekpieces of the snaffle bridle attach to the curb bit, and the bridoon is attached to the sliphead and cheekpiece. The two pairs of reins are attached to the bits, one set to the bridoon and one to the ring at the bottom of the cheek or branch of the curb bit. The two pairs of reins are often different, in that one pair will usually be either thinner than the other or will have some sort of grip added, either rubber or leather lacing. This is so the rider can distinguish between the bridoon and curb rein. |
