Otto Schumacher Bridles

Both models have the same construction and feature an especially soft headpiece. The difference lies in the cheekpieces: the München Feel Good has rolled cheekpieces, while the Warendorf Feel Good has flat ones. On both, the cheekpieces buckle at the poll, which makes it easier to adjust the bit.

Browband, noseband and reins can be chosen freely with Otto Schumacher. For both models, the browband needs a loop width of 3.5 cm. This is important if you want to continue using an existing browband.

Otto Schumacher recommends the Comfort XS model for horses that tolerate only a small contact area on the poll. The headpiece is about 2.9 cm wide, softly padded, slightly widened at the top and allows plenty of freedom for the ears.

For broad pressure distribution, Bellevue and Tokyo offer a wide, softly padded headpiece with ear cut-outs, while Elegant and Bellevue Elegant are anatomically shaped and are cut back strongly behind the ears. The best way to find out which shape suits your horse is to try it on, because every poll is different.

Otto Schumacher makes bridles with drop, cavesson and Swedish nosebands in many widths and shapes, each with freely selectable padding and noseband colours. The drop noseband is not available for double bridles.

The Swedish Feel Good noseband has no long inner seam. Alongside this there are anatomically shaped variants such as Comfort XS with a width of 5 cm or Comfort XL with 6 cm, as well as a Swedish noseband with a cut-out for the bit rings.

Yes, Otto Schumacher makes the bridles by hand in Marienheide from vegetable-tanned cowhide, and you can configure the model, browband, noseband, reins, leather colour and padding. They are sold exclusively through equestrian retailers, and Ahrens Reitsport is listed as a stockist by the manufacturer.

According to Otto Schumacher, special sizes are possible on request, although there are technical limits. The manufacturer provides a video guide for measuring the horse’s head. We are happy to put together your dream bridle with you in our shop in Tangstedt.
