Bridle Fitting and Pressure Reduction: Insights from Fox Valley Equestrian with r3vobanD

How Cleo Murphy's science-based findings highlight the impact of r3vobanD

At r3vobanD, we’re proud to collaborate with riders and equine professionals who share our passion for innovation and horse welfare. That’s why we’re thrilled to share Cleo Murphy’s thoughtful review of r3vobanD, featured in her Blogpost and YouTube-Video.

With a degree in Equine Science from the University of Limerick and over 20 years of equestrian experience, Cleo is a passionate advocate for research-driven equine welfare. She has worked with horses from young prospects to 5* athletes and is currently completing a research master’s in Equine Science. Her expertise shines through as she puts r3vobanD to the test.

Cleo's findings

The headpiece: relief on the neck

Cleo’s review highlights that studies have found peak pressures occur at the poll and base of the ears, even without rein tension. By using the r3vobanD headpiece, riders can reduce these pressure points thanks to the product’s 3D-printed bionic grid structure, which allows for even pressure distribution.

Cleo noticed that her mare Edanna was visibly more relaxed with the r3vobanD neckpiece. For example, Edanna scratched her ears less frequently after riding - a potential sign of less discomfort.

The r3vobanD nose: a game changer for pressure reduction

Cleo, who has extensively researched noseband pressure, found the r3vobanD noseband particularly intriguing. Her pressure-sensitive film test  demonstrated that the r3vobanD significantly reduced peak pressure at the bridge of the nose compared to loosening the noseband without it.

She also emphasized the importance of proper fit, recommending a distance of two fingers between the r3vobanD and the nasal bone to maximize comfort and effectiveness. The innovative design of the product and its ability to redistribute pressure offer clear benefits for the well-being of horses.

The science behind r3vobanD

Cleo’s findings align with our commitment to equine health and innovation. r3vobanD’s 3D-printed bionic grid structure not only ensures optimal pressure relief but also promotes a softer connection between horse and rider. Each pad is developed with input from veterinarians and tested rigorously to achieve up to 60% pressure relief in key areas.
