Horseware Micklem Competition Bridle - Dark Havana

Professional performance meets anatomical precision.

The Horseware Micklem® Competition Bridle is the ultimate choice for riders seeking a sleek, functional, and comfortable bridle for any level of competition. Crafted from soft eco-tanned leather with stainless steel hardware, it delivers a precise anatomical fit that helps your horse remain relaxed, responsive, and focused — whether training or performing in the show ring.

Expertly engineered to avoid five key pressure points — the poll and ears, molars and inside the mouth, infraorbital nerves and lower face, nasal bones, and tongue — this innovative design supports clearer communication, improved breathing, and a calmer, happier horse. The contoured headpiece relieves poll pressure and allows full ear freedom, while the shaped noseband sits higher to protect the nasal bone and reduce facial nerve interference. With soft padding, adjustable bit straps, and optional Bit Lift Straps/Bit Clips, it offers outstanding comfort and versatility across disciplines. FEI-approved for competition, it’s a trusted favorite among top riders worldwide.
