The PS of Sweden Amsterdam 2.0 Bridle is a snaffle bridle with a removable flash strap and a classical look. It is designed for use in show jumping and eventing. The anatomical design has classic details, such as the silver clinchers that adorn both the browband and noseband.

The noseband is a classic Aachen noseband with clinchers on top, softly padded on the inside. It fastens with a buckle underneath, covered in soft leather to avoid direct pressure on the jaw. The flash strap holder is sewn on and the flash strap is completely removable, so you can ride with it or take it off as your horse needs.

The headpiece has an air channel over the poll and the highest part of the neck, giving maximum freedom to the neck's sensitive nerve pathways, muscle attachments and ligaments. The edges are built-up and softly padded, with anatomical shaping around the ears, and a cut-out at the top distributes pressure evenly over the headpiece.

The cheekpieces are designed to reduce pressure from the neck through PS of Sweden's elastic Cradles™. A Cradle is an extra elastic band that the bit rests on, located in the cheekpieces at the bit and on PS of Sweden reins. The idea is that the elastic acts to give the horse more comfort by allowing the bit to bounce, which should relieve the teeth and jaws of static pressure. Many believe that horses prefer this type of bridle and that it can be gentler and more horse-friendly than regular bridles and reins. The Cradles are sewn in place, making it more suitable for show jumping and eventing, and it can also be used for dressage at home. French hooks make it easy to switch bits as needed.

The browband is softly padded on the inside to avoid rubbing and has a U-shaped design that keeps pressure off the horse's forehead and eye socket. Rubber on the inside keeps it in place, even in the toughest conditions.

Recommended for horses that are stable under saddle, that prefer a classic Aachen noseband, that may need the support of a flash strap, and that are younger and need a comfortable first noseband. Reins are sold separately.
