The Run Rabbit difference

Our mission is to create quality saddlery that is stylish, functional and always designed with the horses anatomy, and therefore its comfort, first & foremost.

HEADPIECE
We’ve been working on perfecting the shape and test driving our anatomically designed headpiece for some time. I had a very sensitive mare that we bred, who was prone to headshaking. We found that tight bridles made her much worse, so we worked with our saddler to create this headpiece where the shape distributes the pressure over the whole poll region & gives the best shape around the ear & TMJ to remove discomfort caused by pressure. This headpiece is designed to have a 'looser' fit than most headpieces. A marked decrease in sweating around the head is good proof of how it works.

BROWBANDS 
All of our browbands have plenty of room for reduced pressure across the forehead and around the TMJ. They are designed to fit our three-strap headpieces, but will fit other bridles as well.

STRAPPING & BUCKLES
Our strapping for noseband, cheekpieces, and throatlash, sit next to each other not on top of each other, which removes additional pressure points on the side of the face.

Buckles are designed to sit at or below eye height to avoid nerves around the TMJ.
All buckles are sewn with the overlap outwards so they can’t create additional pressure points on the face. The noseband can be attached to either strap to get the best fit and alignment.

NOSEBANDS
Designed to be used with the two-finger rule so that pressure points on the front and back of the nose can be eliminated.

Most of our designs are based on the simple Cavesson, where its function is to stabilise the bridle. You can choose to add a flash strap at any point with our Flash Strap Attachment which has been specifically designed to sit in between the padding & outer leather so that it cannot press into the horses nose. These can also be used with unpadded nosebands.

Purchase additional nosebands from our collection to easily change your bridles look & function.

LEATHER
We've spent some time with our supplier working on a great quality leather that gets better & softer with use, but is also consistent in colour. Our Cocoa colour is a rich brown that complements any colour horse, and we've matched this with a lovely Coffee coloured soft lining leather. We also have a beautiful Ebony with matching lining.

HARDWARE 
Quality stainless steel fittings used throughout.

STITCHING
We've paid attention to our stitching ensuring it's meticulously crafted with a fine, shorter stitch that complements or contrasts with our Cocoa leather, or matches our Ebony leather.
