Gary Lane announces the design and availability of the Freedom Bridle to help gaited horse trail riders enjoy hours of smooth and easy gaiting on the rail or the trail.

The Freedom Bridle’s unique comfort design helps provide a soft feel in the horse's mouth that has never been provided to the equine industry.    

Description:   The Freedom Bridle is made of soft leather with dual cheek pieces on both sides of the bridle to accommodate the unique design of the Gary Lane Freedom bit (patent pending).

The design of the Freedom bridle is also recommended for all Egg Butt, Dee and O ring snaffle bits as it allows for direct and soft rein pick-ups that isolate the horse's shoulder for greater lifting action. 

The custom, handmade crown fits the head to encourage moment of the TMJ, ears, head and neck.  The side cheeks lay flat following the teeth and jaw which permits and encourages saliva development and swallowing action of the tongue and aids in jaw movement.   

Applications:  When using the Freedom Bridle with the Freedom Bits or the family of snaffle bits, the additional rear cheek pieces add more stability to keep a leveling effect on the purchase rings.  This action allows the horse to take more responsibility for its own self-carriage to maintain a soft mouth hold for more bit acceptance. 

When using the Freedom Bridle, there is no tipping effect on one side of the horse’s mouth.  Essential to the Bridle’s own unique design, the bit is allowed to return to the home level position.

Many bits on the market today are too lightweight and do not send a good signal thus, requiring overactive pulling which creates hanging on one side of the mouth.  The hanging on one side interferes with a proper bitting process but the process but can be corrected by the Freedom Bridle keeping the bit level.  

Recommendation: For all gaited and non-gaited horse breeds, mounted police, search and rescue operations, gaited dressage training, and starter colts to finished horses.
