When comfort meets technique performance is created, just as PS of Sweden's best-seller bridle Nirak.
NOSEBAND - The adjustable noseband gives the rider an opportunity to choose how much pressure to apply on the nose. It helps the horse to accept the bit and is a perfect bridle for both the young horse who's still learning to communicate with the rider as well as for the type of horse who tries to avoid contact with the rider's hand and rather folds in the neck too much. The bridle is also suitable for very forward going horses since it helps the rider to regulate the horse's speed without putting a sharp bit in the mouth or getting a hand that's too strong. The Nirak bridle combined with a suitable bit brings a peaceful communication between the horse and rider. The noseband doesn't add any pressure on the teeth therefore reduces possible bit-related issues.
HEADPIECE - The headpiece is anatomically shaped to relieve pressure points on the sensitive neck area which is extra effective due to the air gap above the horse's poll. It comes with extra padding around the ears for additional comfort for the horse.
CHEEK PIECES - The cheek pieces are flat with regular hooks and our patent pending Cradles allowing the bit to suspend in the horses mouth creating natural elasticity and further relieves the pressure on the poll. Our cradles are selectable and constructed to be easily hooked on and off. The cheek pieces are adjustable on both ends to make the bridle fit each individual horse perfectly and allow different sizes of bit rings.
RUBBER KEEPERS - All keepers are equipped with rubber on the inside to keep them in place even under the toughest of challenges.
BROWBAND - The browband has our unique patent pending "Click-it" design which allows you to swap it in a few seconds even when the horse is already wearing the bridle. Feel free to glance at our product images or contact our customer service for help fitting your bridle. Spanish vegetable tanned leather. Approved to compete with by both FEI, USEF/USDF, and BD on horse and pony, in dressage, jumping and cross country.
Please Note: Sold with flat, original browband. The throatlatch is not included with the bridle.

PS of Sweden Nirak
The adjustable noseband combines bit pressure with pressure on the nose, and by adjusting the noseband on the upper part, the amount of nose pressure can be varied. Nirak is a suitable bridle for young horses who are still learning to communicate with the rider, and for horses that try to avoid contact by folding in their neck too much.

The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
