Van Jans Elegance Classic Bridle with Padded Crank Noseband

€104,00 €160,00

Understated and impeccably finished, the Van Jans Elegance Classic Bridle brings a refined dressage aesthetic to the everyday rider. The anatomically padded headpiece sits comfortably behind the ears while the generously cushioned crank noseband ensures even pressure distribution — making this bridle as considerate of the horse as it is pleasing to the eye.

Key Features

  • Padded Anatomical Headpiece — Broad, softly cushioned crown piece contoured to lie flat behind the ears and avoid the sensitive auricular nerve region
  • Padded Crank Noseband — Deeply padded cavesson with crank buckle closure distributes closure pressure evenly across the nasal bone, preventing localised rubs
  • Clean Dressage Profile — Slim, uncluttered lines that present a correct, traditional dressage silhouette from every angle
  • Quality Leather — Smooth, consistently finished leather that takes conditioning oil well and develops a beautiful patina with care
  • Polished Buckles — Neat silver-finish hardware maintains a sharp, competition-ready appearance

Ideal For

Dressage and showing from Intro through to Advanced. The padded crank noseband is a popular choice for sensitive horses or those competing in disciplines with strict nosework requirements.

Care & Conditioning

Clean leather with a soft damp cloth after use. Apply a quality leather conditioner every 4–6 weeks, or more frequently in wet or cold conditions. Do not use household soaps, detergents, or oil-based products. Store away from direct heat and sunlight. A well-maintained Van Jans bridle will last many years of regular use.
