Overview +: For a sleek, professional look that doesn’t compromise on comfort, the Horseware Micklem® Competition Bridle is the go-to choice for riders competing at any level. Crafted from soft eco-tanned leather with stainless steel hardware, it’s designed for high performance with a precise anatomical fit that helps your horse stay relaxed, responsive, and focused — both at home and in the show ring.

Engineered to avoid five key pressure points — including the poll and ears, molars and inside the mouth, infraorbital nerves and lower face, nasal bones, and tongue — this bridle promotes better breathing, clearer communication, and a more relaxed horse. The contoured headpiece relieves poll pressure and allows full ear clearance, while the shaped noseband sits higher to protect the nasal bone and reduce facial nerve interference. Additional features like soft padding, highly adjustable bit straps, and optional Bit Lift Straps/Bit Clips ensure maximum comfort and flexibility across a wide range of horses and disciplines. Bonus — FEI-approved for use in competition!

Washing instructions

Before you use a new leather product for the first time, make sure you oil it thoroughly. Oiling tack makes it supple and prevents it from drying out and cracking or breaking during use. After an initial cleaning, follow regular wash instructions.

Care for your leather regularly with a damp sponge and saddle soap to retain a soft, solid leather. It is essential for leather care and must be used liberally, always before hydrating the leather with a conditioner.

Use warm water to dampen a sponge. Squeeze any excess water out of the sponge before using it. Wipe down all the pieces of the bridle to remove sweat, dirt and grease. Allow the leather to dry naturally before applying saddle soap. This will help to remove any stubborn dirt or grease left over.

Pay particular attention to cleaning areas of your bridle that are typically under pressure during riding and exposed to saliva, such as bit straps, bottom back strap, and reins where they come in contact with bit.

It is recommended that you regularly apply conditioner. Completely dismantle your bridle when applying conditioner and apply with a soft cloth or sponge. Apply the conditioner once you have cleaned your leatherwork with saddle soap.

Storage instructions

Once clean and dry, reassemble your bridle and loop reins through top back strap for storage.

A climate-controlled environment is best for tack. Dry heat will make leather brittle, while humidity can cause it to mould and mildew.

Storing your bridle in a fleece lined bridle bag will help prevent moisture.
Warranty +: All Horseware Ireland products are designed and manufactured at the highest quality standards and come with a 2 year warranty.
