Ancona Select Anatomical Bridle showcases innovative German engineering combined with premium craftsmanship. Featuring an advanced anatomical design, this elegant English combined bridle helps minimise pressure on sensitive areas while maintaining the classic appearance required for both dressage and jumping competition.

The specially developed anatomical noseband is shaped to sit comfortably around the horse's cheekbones, reducing pressure on sensitive facial nerves and bony structures. Schockemöhle's unique side-ring design ensures the back fastening buckle is positioned correctly, providing a secure and consistent fit across a wide range of horse head shapes.

One of the Ancona Select's standout innovations is its padded flash attachment system. Instead of sitting directly against the noseband, the lined flash strap is positioned within a wide, nylon-backed channel above the noseband. This clever design helps distribute pressure more evenly across the nose while reducing compression over the delicate nasal bones. The result is greater comfort and unrestricted airflow, allowing your horse to breathe more freely during training and competition.

The bridle also features Schockemöhle's renowned Select & Mix anatomical headpiece, generously padded to relieve pressure over the poll and neck while allowing greater freedom of ear movement. Combined with premium leather construction, a raised leather browband and refined detailing, the Ancona Select delivers exceptional comfort without compromising on style.
