Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a horse bridle intended for use in horsemanship in all sports disciplines and recreation by professional riders as well as amateurs.
  • the bridle according to the invention is also applicable in the training of athletes as well as children seeking pleasure and adventure in horse riding.
  • a horse-riding school teaches the harmony of a man-horse pair, which is fulfilled when human actions precisely end up in the germ of a horse's reaction. It is worth paying attention to the fact that horses learn very quickly to identify negative stimuli. In many cases, horses remember negative experiences for the rest of their lives. This is accompanied by selective perception, increased avoidance and emotional arousal. It should also be emphasised that in horses the expectation of a negative stimulus is more stressful than the stimulus itself. Horses concentrate on the signals preceding the stressful event, and this takes place at the expense of focusing on the rider's commands. Horses, by displaying such reactions, strive to reduce the strength of the stressful stimuli that occur, and this makes it difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to train.
  • bridles formed by a mouthpiece in the form of a bit on both sides ending with bit rings to which the reins are fastened and cheek straps, usually connected in the upper part with a pendant to which the headband and throatlatch are mounted.
  • the reins are made of two straps of leather or other unstretchable material, often fastened with a buckle, one of which is on one side of the horse's head and is attached to the associated bit ring placed in the bit in horse's mouth. Every time, intentioned or not, too strong or too violent jerk of the reins causes the bit to bite into the horse's mouth, causing pain.
  • a similar event occurs when, with a rider holding the reins firmly, the horse makes a sudden head movement. Repetitive repetition of such events makes it difficult or even impossible to communicate with the horse, and often also leads to permanent damage to the horse's mouth. Such events occur on a daily basis among less experienced riders, with similar situations being common among professional riders.
  • GB2514811 reveals a bridle whose straps bypass the sensitive cheek and periocular part of the horse.
  • the bridle according to this construction is made of a bit on both sides ended with bit rings, to which the reins are attached, along with noseband with noseband chin and a belt bypassing the cheek and periocular area, overlapping the horse's neck connected to the belt under the horse's lower jaw.
  • Pelham is used for so-called difficult horses. Due to the severity of the action, it is not suitable for young horses and novice riders. Pelham was distributed by dressage athletes who previously used two mouthpieces: a bit and a weymouth bit. A pair of reins was needed for each of them, because they had different functions. A bit served for horizontal deflections, i.e. lateral twisting of the horse's head and weymouth bit was used for forcing the head position vertically, low or high. Weymouth bit was additionally a powerful brake. Pelham combines these two functions. Due to the sharpness of the pelham operation, the proposed solution has a very limited range of application.
  • the object of the invention is a solution that improves the interaction of the rider's hand with the horse's mouth.
  • the object of the invention is a solution that eliminates the unintentional pain inflicted by the bit on the horse while riding or reduces this pain during proper communication with the horse, i.e. when the horse correctly follows the commands issued by a less experienced rider.
  • a horse bridle formed by a bit connected to bit rings, to which the reins are cheek straps are attached, usually connected in the upper part with a pendant, to which a headband and throatlatch are connected, according to the invention is characterised by the fact that the reins are equipped with shock absorbers extending upon increased tension of the reins, up to a few centimetres, the first of which is attached to the left and the second to the right rein between the gripping part of the rein and the bit ring.
  • the shock absorber is attached to the bit ring with one end and to the left or right end of the rein belt on the same side.
  • the shock absorber is built into the associated rein belt, which is attached to the bit rings on both sides.
  • the aim of the solution according to the invention is, by extending the reins through extending the built-in shock absorbers, to dump/scatter the force causing pain in the horse's mouth, created by the tension of the reins caused by too rapid movement of the horse's head or frequently occurring, especially among less experienced riders, violent unintentional movements of hand, or too violent commanding.
  • the solution eliminates hand mistakes made while riding and allows the horses to understand the action of the reins and avoid the pain caused by the bit.
  • the solution allows horses and riders to communicate with each other smoothly but effectively.
  • the solution eliminates the rider's jerks harmful to the training process, affects the rider's hand and horse's face, increases the effectiveness of animal training and helps to eliminate the rider's accidental, stressful activities while maintaining the ability to act decisively in critical situations.
  • the solution according to the invention greatly reduces the risk of bite injuries in the horse's mouth.
  • fig. 1 is a side view of the bridle on a horse head in first example prepared according to the invention
  • fig. 2 bridle in an axonometric view in first example prepared according to the invention
  • fig. 3 shock absorber in first example prepared partly in cross-section
  • fig. 4 is a side view of the bridle on a horse head in second example prepared according to the invention
  • fig. 5 bridle in an axonometric view in second example prepared according to the invention
  • Horse briddle in first example prepared according to the invention comprises of a bit 1 on both ending with bit rings 2: the left and the right, and attached to them: the reins 3 and cheek straps 4, connected in the upper part with a pendant 5 to which the headband 6 is and throatlatch 7 are attached.
  • the reins 3 are equipped with two shock absorbers 8 attached to them, one of which on one side and the other on the other side of the horse's head extends the lateral sections of the reins 3 while increasing their tension.
  • the reins 3 extend by increasing the length/stretching the shock absorbers 8 built-in in their lateral sections.
  • the reins 3 are in the form of two leather belts joined by a buckle.
  • shock absorber 8 is fixed on the left and the other shock absorber 8 on the right section of the rein 3, between its gripping area and the bit ring 2 assigned to it, located on its side.
  • the shock absorber 8 On the left section of the reins 3 the shock absorber 8 is attached to the bit ring 2 with one end, and the other end is attached to the end of left reins belt on its side 3.
  • the shock absorber 8 On the right section of the reins 3 the shock absorber 8 is attached to the bit ring 2 with one end, and the other end is attached to the end of left reins belt on its side 3.
  • Each of the shock absorbers 8 is formed from a tubular housing 8a, at one end of which is a ring hook 8b.
  • a rod 8c terminated with a head 8c, on which the compression spring 8e is located with one end resting on the head 8c and the other end on the inner ring of the housing 8a, through which rod 8d is led outside of the housing 8a.
  • the end of the rod 8d is combined with the snap ring 8f.
  • the rod 8d extending from the housing 8a, increasing the length of the shock absorber 8, compresses the spring 8e which is rested on it.
  • Each shock absorber 8 is connected via the snap ring 8f to the bit ring 2 and through the snap hook 8b with its assigned reins belt 3.
  • a shock absorber with a rod stroke in the range of 0.4 cm to a few centimetres is used, for example 0.5 cm, 1 cm, 2 cm or 5 cm.
  • the spring is selected so that the stroke is realised by a force of 0.5 to 20 N.
  • Trainer or rider adapts the parameters of the shock absorber 8 to the temperament and sensitivity of the horse.
  • shock absorbers 8 as in the solution allows the horse to operate in three ranges of applied force, to which the horse adjusts learns them, namely at the level of very light contact, reaching only the limit value needed to deflect the spring 8e, operation with force within the bending of the spring 8e and operation after exceeding the possibility of deflection of the spring 8e.
  • the above is an educational value for the rider and horse.
  • the horse briddle in the second example according to the invention is formed as in the first example, but the belt located on the left and right section of reins 3 consists of two parts connected by a shock absorber 8.
  • the reins ends 3 are attached to the bit rings 2.
  • the difference is also that the shock absorber 8 on both sides is terminated with eye plates 8b.
  • shock absorber 8 illustrated in fig. 7 comprises of eye plate 8b of the tubular housing 8a at one end of which the hook 8i is fastened that catches the spring 8e, whose other end is fastened at the holder 8h. Holder 8h is joined with the rod 8d led from the housing 8a, at the end of which there is a snap hook 8f. Extending the rod 8d from the housing 8a stretches the spring 8e located in the housing.
  • Shock absorber 8 illustrated in fig. 8 and fig. 9 has a similar construction as the shock absorber 8 illustrated in fig. 3 , except that the snap hook 8f has a more complex structure.
  • the rider has the ability to better see the relationship between the action of the stimulus being sent and its reduction in the beginning of the desired response.
  • the tests also showed that young horses immediately adopt this type of bridle and immediately conclude that it is not worth to tighten the shock absorbing device too much, because after more and more resistance, it blocks, which means that the bit strikes the toothless edge of lower jaw.
  • the novice riders also quickly learn to use this bridle. Naturally, they allow the bridle's shock absorbers to work. In a word - young riders and young horses instantly understand the bridle's operation according to the invention.
