Fairfax Separate Patent Cavesson for Double & Snaffle
PLEASE NOTE: Please ensure you have read the bridle returns policy before fitting. Allow 14 days for dispatch
This patent version of our Cavesson noseband coordinates perfectly with our patent browband and the World Class II dressage saddle. It is padded to relieve pressure on the nasal bone and also lift the noseband clear of sensitive areas either side. Articulation rings help the noseband move in harmony with the horse’s head. It is also shaped at the sides, making it especially useful for finer head shapes, or horses with limited space between the bottom of the facial crest and corner of the mouth.
Not available in narrow or flash version.

Use and Care
1. Get the benefits
The Fairfax Performance Bridle has been designed specifically to improve your horse’s way of going and your horse may need time to rebalance during acclimatisation. To get the maximum benefits from your bridle use it continuously (ie not just for competition), as regular use has a cumulative benefit.
2. Cleaning
-
Immediately after use wipe all traces of sweat off the leather using warm water - If the leather has become wet, dry thoroughly
- Apply leather feed to both the under and upper surfaces using a clean, soft cloth
We recommend Rapide Leathergel (supplied with the bridle) for regular cleaning and feeding of the Performance Bridle
3. Important
- Do NOT use any glycerine-based products (such as saddle soap) or oil-based treatments (such as neatsfoot oil). These will adversely affect the finish of the leather
- Never use wet tack
FEI Approved
The bridle and the various nosebands are FEI 'legal' for competition use, including all 3 phases of eventing.

Bridle Testing & Design
A research team spent two years investigating and testing traditional bridle designs to identify the exact location of high-pressure zones and demonstrate the performance improvements when bridle pressure is removed.
