The SL Shetland bridle has special design features to suit shetland and small pony heads.
This open bridle has a browband with extra length to allow for thick forelocks and broad foreheads. The throatlash is set back from the headpiece. This is a safety feature to help prevent ponies with thick manes and small ears from scratching their bridles off.
