How to attach the rubber ring reins
- Put the ring through the bit outside to inside
- Thread the end of the reins through the ring
3. Pull tight This design helps maintain a steady contact with the bit by reducing movement and preventing the rein from vibrating against the bit, promoting a quieter, more consistent connection
Tornado English bridle explained
A key feature is the very slim head piece to allow maximum movement of the horses ears. Combined with the contoured padding and anatomical shape it offers total comfort over the horses head
Discussing the Tornado martingale and breastplates collection
All our martingales and breastplates come with the option of a running attachment or bib attachment. While the running attachment is more commonly used, the bib attachment can be a great choice. It can aid steering and improve ride ability as well as adding extra safety as the horses can’t bite it or get it caught in their mouth
Why the Tornado ring reins might be a good choice for you
Something not commonly seen in the UK. We came across this design in Europe and, having used these reins, really liked the feel and connection they create with the horse. Looping the reins through the ring allows for a really close connection with the bit and minimises movement in this area.
The Tornado Swiss bridle
A feature on this bridle different to our other designs is the gap in the padding over the poll. This relieves the area completely and gives a feeling the bridle is floating off the poll. This is great for sensitive horses and we find can benefit every horse. In addition to this, we have made the holes very close together on both the cheek pieces and the noseband. We believe the smallest adjustment can make a big difference and this allows for very small correction to get the perfect fit.
The Tornado French bridle
Like a memory foam pillow, the Tornado French bridle is designed for maximum comfort. The headpiece covers a larger surface area to distribute pressure as well as curving to the shape of your horse’s head. The noseband over the head strap is isolated in its own channel external to the headpiece so that It’s totally smooth over the poll.
The Tornado English head collar
A mix of soft and buffalo leather creates a stunning, strong and comfortable head collar for any occasion. We find the slimmer rolled noseband adds a little extra control when needed however still remaining soft and comfortable for everyday use. A great choice for travelling.
The Tornado removable sheepskin girth collection
We have 3 different girths available in our range. All our girths come with 2 interchangeable liners easily removed and attached with the use of our innovative velcro locking system. This gives you the flexibility to personalise your girth to what you need. Whether this be changing between different horses, weather conditions or disciplines you are covered for everything.
