Fairfax Performance Bridle - Snaffle With Narrow Cavesson

This bridle is the same as the Snaffle with standard Cavesson noseband, except this noseband is approximately 10mm narrower. Suited to finer head shapes, or horses with limited space between the bottom of the facial crest and corner of the mouth.

The Fairfax Performance Bridle - Snaffle With Narrow Cavesson version - is available as part of the range of Fairfax bridle systems.  
  • Available with plain, Diamante or Pearl browband
  • Carefully thought-out features reduce pressure in six key zones
  • Articulation rings on the noseband improve stability on the horse’s head, allowing it to move with the horse, without causing restriction
  • Improved bridle stability enhances the horse’s comfort
  • Symmetrical design with buckles both sides
  • Browband and noseband are interchangeable with others from the Fairfax range
  • Approved for use in FEI competitions including all three eventing phases

The default sizes of the component parts are as follows:

Standard
16" browband, 21" throatlash, 9" cheek pieces, 4" jowl pad, 18" jowl (crank) strap

Large
16" browband, 22" throatlash, 10" cheek pieces, 4" jowl pad, 20" jowl (crank) strap

If you require anything more bespoke, you can buy each component separately.

Developed, designed and handmade in the UK

The first bridle to be based on scientific research and proven to:

  • Reduce pressure by up to 84%
  • Reduce force by up to 77%
  • Allows greater forelimb extension
  • Increases knee & hock flexion

The Performance Bridle is the only bridle to have been designed and developed using pressure mapping (by Pliance) and gait analysis (by Centuar Biomechanics).

Our testing and research into different bridle designs identified six key areas of peak pressure, common to most bridles. Further scientific study proves that the reduction in bridle pressure afforded by the Fairfax Performance Bridle significantly improves range of movement, extension and flexion in competition horses.

In addition to reducing pressure, the Fairfax Performance Bridle enhances the horse’s comfort by improving stability.

The Journal of Equine Veterinary Science published a scientific paper about the test results. Read more about how papers are reviewed and why publication in a scientific journal is so important here
