About CWD bridlework
CWD bridlework blends refined French leathercraft with rider-first ergonomics. Supple hides, neat stitching and thoughtfully shaped headpieces help keep pressure even, so your aids feel quiet and precise in schooling and in the ring.
Noseband options & control
Choose a plain or raised cavesson for steady, even contact; add a discreet flash for a touch more stability; or opt for a figure-8 (grackle) to keep the nose more open and distribute pressure higher—popular with keen jumpers. Always select the mildest design that maintains consistent responses.
Headpieces & comfort details
Anatomically cut crowns and soft padding are designed to reduce pressure around the poll and base of the ears. Balanced cheekpiece angles and tidy keepers help the bit sit quietly for clearer, more dependable communication.
Reins & components
Some bridles are supplied without reins so you can choose your preferred grip and width—rubber for hold in all weather, laced leather for a classic feel, or web/biothane styles for a lighter contact. Matching martingale stops and cheekpieces complete the set.
Fit & sizing
Start with Pony/Cob/Full/Oversize, then adjust so cheeks are even and the browband doesn’t pinch. Aim for two fingers under the front of the cavesson, a comfortable throatlash, and a bit that creates quiet, symmetrical wrinkles at the lips.
Materials & care
Quality vegetable-tanned leathers and corrosion-resistant fittings stand up to daily use. Wipe sweat and dust after every ride, clean with mild saddle soap when needed and condition sparingly. Store away from heat and direct sunlight.
