DOUBLE BRIDLE | LACQUERED WHITE PADDING | BLACK No. 03
SVART
An elegant round-stitched double bridle of the highest quality, both in terms of leather and craftsmanship. The noseband is drop-shaped and equipped with our unique OCTA function, providing cheek relief and a "cracked" shape, along with soft cushions to ensure the noseband stays perfectly in place on the horse. It features a pullback fastening.
The headpiece is designed to protect the horse's sensitive temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and is softly padded along the base of the ears for extra comfort. The height of the noseband and cheekpieces is easily adjusted at the top of the headpiece, where fixed knobs prevent the buckles from slipping. The noseband and curb bit attach to the front, slightly higher knobs, while the snaffle attaches to the rear knobs.
The double bridle is available in sizes cob, full, and x-full, and each part can be customized to meet your horse's specific needs. A discreet black OCTA pin is placed on the left side of the browband. You are free to choose whichever browband you prefer for your double bridle.
Are you unsure about what size to order? Check out our SIZE GUIDE
The bridles are true to size, so if your horse usually wears a full, it’s likely the same size will work for this bridle as well. It’s most common to have the same size for all parts.
If you know that your horse typically needs a bigger or smaller part, you can order the bridle according to what you think is best.
You always have the option to exchange the size of one or more parts after trying the bridle at home in the stable, and we offer free exchanges, so you don’t have to bear the return cost.
However, we do ask that you notify us in advance if you plan to exchange a part, so we can reserve it for you. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to take pictures or a video and send them to us so we can help guide you to the best solution. We won’t rest until everything fits perfectly, so we really encourage you to both film/take photos and brainstorm ideas with us.

THE OCTA CONCEPT
THE DOUBLE BRIDLE THAT HAS IT ALL
Imagine a double bridle that’s not only stunning but optimized in every detail. The double bridle is equipped with our OCTA noseband, which provides freedom for the horse’s cheeks and features a “cracked” shape and cushion at the front, ensuring that the noseband stays in place throughout the ride.
THE BRIDLE MUST STAY STILL
One of the most important factors for peak performance is that the double bridle stays completely still on the horse’s head. It may seem like a simple task, but in practice, it’s rare to achieve this with many bridles.
AVOID EXCESS PADDING
With a double bridle that has many straps, it’s easy to think that more padding means increased comfort for the horse. But be cautious about adding too much height, as the straps become less stable when they sit further away from the horse.
FIXED BUCKLES ARE A MUST
The buckles on the headpiece are fixed, meaning you adjust the height of the noseband and the bit by moving between the holes in the straps. The knob that fastens the strap is fixed and cannot be moved. This helps distribute the pressure evenly and ensures that the buckles never sit crookedly. The noseband and curb bit straps attach to the front knobs, which are higher than the rear knobs, where the snaffle bit straps are fastened.
CHOOSE FROM DIFFERENT BROWBANDS
We let you choose from various browband designs included in the price. If you want a different browband, you only pay the difference.
DISCREET LOGO
A black logo pin is placed on the left side of the browband, as well as on the reins near the buckle. Nothing should take the focus away from your horse!
UNIQUE OCTA FEATURES
THE NOSEBAND THAT GIVES SPACE FOR THE CHEEK
The noseband features a distinct octagonal design with soft padding at the top of the nose bridge. Its "cracked" shape means that it is already octagonal, allowing it to sit a bit looser without creating large gaps, which is common with round nosebands that tend to slip around on the horse.
At the cheek, where regular nosebands often cause pinching and other equipment issues by pressing against the teeth, we have created a perfectly placed cutout. This allows the horse's cheek to have more space and bulge out without the risk of being pinched.
The cheekpieces are tapered but reinforced with nylon to keep them as sleek as possible.
HERE YOU CAN SEE HOW IT LOOKS AFTER A RIDE, WHERE THE HORSE IS COMPLETELY DRY BECAUSE THE NOSEBAND NEVER TOUCHES THE HORSE'S CHEEK.
HERE YOU CAN SEE HOW NICELY THE CHEEK IS ALLOWED TO "BULGE OUT," GIVING SPACE FOR THE BIT AND TONGUE WITHOUT BEING PINCHED.

AS A HEADPIECE SHOULD BE
The headpiece of this bridle, like all our others, is softly padded along the ear. It features a small "tunnel" where the mane can comfortably fit, but most importantly, the headpiece includes a perfectly positioned cushion to protect the TMJ (temporomandibular joint), which, simply put, is the joint where the lower jaw attaches to the skull. It is considered the most sensitive joint in the horse’s body and can be compared to our temples.
COMMON PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH TMJ PAIN
- Head shaking
- Sensitive ears, head-shyness, reluctance to be bridled
- Tendency to place the tongue over the bit
- Tension in the neck
- Prefers to carry the head slightly tilted
The browband is easy to change but has a fixed position, so it cannot move up or down.
