Rambo Micklem – the anatomical bridle for ultimate comfort
The Rambo Micklem bridle was the first anatomical bridle on the market and was developed by William Micklem. This innovative bridle is specifically designed to relieve pressure on sensitive nerves and pressure points on the horse's head. While traditional bridles often cause discomfort due to pressure behind the ears and on the jaw, the Rambo Micklem offers a comfortable fit and a quieter rein contact. The result: more relaxation, better connection, and a happier horse.
Which Rambo Micklem bridles are available?
- Rambo Micklem Multi Bridle – a versatile bridle that can be used with or without a bit. Bitless options include: sidepull, jaw crossed, or poll crossed. Thanks to the ring on the noseband, this model can also be used as a hackamore. Please note: as the Multi Bridle can also be used as a hackamore, it is not permitted in competitions.
- Rambo Micklem Competition Bridle – designed for use with a bit and permitted in competitions. Available in two versions: the standard version and the Deluxe with white decorative stitching on the noseband and browband.
How does the Micklem bridle work?
The special noseband of the Micklem is directly connected to the poll piece. The bit is attached to the noseband with bit straps, which creates minimal pressure behind the ears. When your horse opens its mouth or you apply more pressure on the reins, the pressure is felt more on the nose than on the poll. This makes the bridle also suitable for stronger horses that respond better to direct rein pressure.
Additionally, the noseband is shaped to avoid running over the jaw, while the throatlash is guided along the cheek to avoid sensitive nerves. For extra stability of the bit, the included bit clips can be used.
