A 2015 study, published by the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, has changed the way we look at gear in relation to the performance horse. The study concluded that; high peak pressure and maximum force occurred at specific locations under the headpiece and noseband of ridden performance horses. The study suggests, an association between reduced peak pressures from the bridle and improved gait, including; greater carpal and tarsal flexion and increased forelimb protraction.

​

Luxe of London have based all of our designs off this industry changing study. All of our bridles, girths AND saddle pads have been anatomically designed and padded with out Luxesorb Technology, to reduce the pressures and forces caused by the; 

 

Bridle: Headpiece and Noseband

Girth: Pressure around the elbows and vital organs

Saddle Pad: Pressure around the withers
