The Pioneer Revolution is a unique dropped noseband where PSOS have solved the problems that often occur on the traditional models.
NOSEBAND
The noseband´s height is adjustable in three positions for a guaranteed perfect fit. Thanks to this the risk of the bit locking is minimized.
Additionally, the sensitive Infraorbital nerve at the horse's cheekbone is left free of pressure!
Thanks to the cross-sectional design of the noseband, the risk of the cheek pieces being too close to the eyes of the horse is minimized. In the noseband´s highest position, it works like an English noseband but with Pioneer's other benefits.
The noseband has raw hide on the inside to hold its shape and also features a built in soft pillow to increase the noseband's stability.
NECKPIECE
The patented neckpiece is softly padded and leaves plenty of room for the ears to move freely.
CHEEK PIECES
The cheek pieces have our patented and selectable elastic Cradles™, which allows the bit to suspend in the horse’s mouth. This also helps to evenly the pressure across the neck. Our elastic Cradles™ are designed so you can easily hook them on and off.
The Pioneer bridle is made in eco-friendly vegetable tanned leather and is suitable for jumping, dressage and eventing. Approved to compete with by both FEI, USEF/USDF, and BD on horse and pony, in dressage, jumping and cross country.
The throatlatch is not included with the bridle.
Note:
- The throatlatch is not included with the bridle.
- The crystal browband is not included with the bridle.
- Snap hook is not included with the bridle.

PS of Sweden Pioneer
Pioneer is an all-time favourite among many riders and is frequently used for both jumping and dressage. The drop noseband is adjustable in three positions to guarantee a perfect fit, and it helps the horse stabilize its jaw and lies flat against the muzzle thanks to the built-in shock-absorbing cushion.

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.
