Shires Avignon Ocala Bridle

The Avignon Ocala features an anatomically shaped, padded crown that is designed to alleviate pressure behind the ears. By integrating the noseband into the crown piece, it also reduces bulk in that sensitive area, which can help horses that are particularly poll-sensitive.

Yes, the raised, fancy-stitched detailing gives it a polished, traditional look that is perfectly suitable for schooling shows and clinics. While it is durable enough for daily training, the aesthetic is refined enough for the show ring.

Yes, it comes complete with a set of matching lace reins, so you don't need to purchase them separately.

The hook and stud fittings offer a cleaner, more streamlined appearance compared to traditional buckles, which can look bulky on the horse's face. They are secure and reliable, though they may take a moment longer to adjust than standard buckles.

Because the noseband is integrated into the crown, you have less flexibility to mix and match sizes. If your horse is between sizes or has a non-standard head shape, you may want to measure carefully against the manufacturer's size guide before purchasing.
