All leather with Stainless Steel fittings. The design feature of Comfort bridles is two cheek straps off the noseband to attatch to the headpiece. This eliminates the need for a head strap & thus reduces poll pressure. This bridle has soft padding behind the Browband, Noseband and the top of the Headpiece. This ensures a very comfortable bridle. The noseband & browband are beautifully raised.This heavier weight bridle, with 3/4" cheeks & headpiece, and slightly wider nose & brow particularly suits "hunter type" horses.
