A Micklem bridle is built around a simple idea: keep the straps clear of the horse's more sensitive spots: the nerve under the cheekbone, the poll, and the bars of the mouth. So the horse is more comfortable and, ideally, softer and more willing to work with you. It looks a little different from a standard bridle for exactly that reason, with a wider, curved noseband and a different strap layout.
The range comes in a few versions. The competition is the everyday choice for most riders. The Multibridle adds a noseband ring so it converts for lunging, handy if you do groundwork regularly.
Tips for Choosing
- Match the model to how you'll actually use it. Competition for everyday riding, Multibridle if you also want a lunging option built in.
- Wipe the leather down after riding and treat it regularly with a mild leather conditioner to keep it supple.
- If your horse tends to toss its head or resist contact, this is one of the more common reasons riders switch to a Micklem, though fit and training still matter just as much.
Frequently Asked Questions - Micklem by Horseware
What actually makes a Micklem different from a regular bridle?
The straps are positioned to avoid pressure points like the nerve under the cheekbone and the poll, which is meant to make the horse more comfortable in the contact.
Can I use it for dressage?
Yes, but the BitClip usually has to come off first. It's generally not allowed in the dressage ring.
Which model do I need?
The competition works for most riders. Choose the Multibridle if you also want to lunge in it without buying a separate cavesson.
Is it worth paying more than a standard bridle?
That depends on your horse and how it goes in the contact. Many riders find it makes a real difference, but it's not a guaranteed fix for every issue.
How do I care for the leather?
Wipe it down after use and condition it regularly, the same as any quality leather tack.
