The Parelli Cradle Bridle disperses pressure over five major points: tongue, bars, nose, chin and poll, which leads to a less defensive horse and more relaxed and open communication. The bridle is the appropriate choice for when you are ready for contact and precision (Level 2 – 3).

This bit is not too thick, not too thin, just right.

The loose rings swing and adjust for increased comfort and sensitivity and small bulbs at the corners prevent pinching. Horses enjoy the taste of sweet iron with copper inlay. The snaffle bit is intended to be used for teaching, controlling, reinforcing, and refining lateral flexion.

It is a bit to be used mainly with a sideways pull for lateral flexion. It is not the type of bit you pull on with both hands at the same time. Whenever you use a snaffle bit, use one active rein at a time, either directly or indirectly, or, use two supporting reins at one time to hold a conversation with your horse about stopping or yielding back.

The latter is a matter of holding the reins, not pulling on them to stop the horse.

Sizes: 4.5-inch, 5.25-inch and 6-inch.

When you're ready for contact and precision, the Cradle Bridle is the perfect piece of equipment. And an integral part of the Cradle Bridle is the Cradle Headstall. This brilliantly designed headstall distributes pressure away from the mouth, relaxing your horse and making him far more open to communication. NOTE: This item does NOT include the Cradle Bit (C1, C2 or C3) or Finesse Reins or Support String. The entire Cradle Bridle is available.
