Choosing the Right Dressage Bridles and Bits

Choosing the right dressage bridle and bit is not only determined by the horse’s comfort; it also changes based on the level you ride. Using a dressage bridle with flash and a snaffle bit is perfect for lower levels, schooling, or when you and/or your horse are just starting. As the levels rise, you need to invest in a double bridle with snaffle and curb. The double bridle is mandatory at FEI levels and Grand Prix but optional at third or fourth levels. Whichever you use, the right dressage bridle and bit will keep your horse’s mouth soft and responsive. Schneiders has a wide selection of dressage bridles and bits, curb hooks, straps and chains, flashes, reins, and browbands for you and your dressage horse.
