ANATOMICAL EXTRA WIDE PRESSURE RELIEF WITH CUT BACK EARS BLACK CROWNPIECE 4/8 CHEEKSTRAPS- BLACK
Maximum pressure relief — without bulk or restriction.
This anatomical extra wide crownpiece is designed to spread pressure evenly across the poll, while maintaining a clean, correct line to the bit.
Unlike many wide designs, it avoids interfering with sensitive areas — delivering comfort without compromise.
Why It Matters
The crownpiece is one of the most critical parts of the bridle.
Poor design can:
- Concentrate pressure on the poll
- Sit on the TMJ
- Restrict ear movement
This crownpiece is built to eliminate those issues.
Key Benefits
✔ Extra Wide Pressure Distribution
Reduces pressure points by spreading load across a larger surface area.
✔ TMJ Clearance Design
Sits clear of the TMJ, avoiding one of the most sensitive areas of the horse’s head.
✔ Straight Line to the Bit
Supports clearer, more consistent contact.
✔ Cutaway Ear Design
Tapered shape allows full ear freedom without restriction.
Designed For
- Horses sensitive over the poll
- Horses reacting to standard crownpieces
- Riders wanting improved comfort and connection
- Everyday riding and competition
The Difference
Many extra wide crownpieces:
- Still sit too close to the TMJ
- Create unnecessary bulk behind the ears
- Disrupt the line to the bit
This design:
- Distributes pressure correctly
- Maintains alignment
- Prioritises comfort without excess bulk

I was looking for a cutback crownpiece for my gelding (and his big, draft X head) without buying a whole new bridle. The fit is perfect and the leather of the crownpiece is lovely. One of Flexible Fit’s reps, Chandra, was helpful in discussing options and fit once I received the crownpiece. When it’s time for a full new bridle, I know where I’ll be shopping!
The bridle fits perfectly. The quality is outstanding. Supple and buttery from the moment it arrives. The reins are pliable and lovely in the hands. The brow band is stunning and well made. This bridle is everything I could have hoped for. But the best is the customer service. There was a problem with the fit of the throat latch connection to the bridle so they sent me a new throat latch and crown piece to be sure the problem was resolved in one shipment. New parts arrived in two days with a lovely note. I am a customer for life. Thank you!!!!
Love the wide cut the distributes the pressure across the horse’s poll. The padding is just right. Not too thick and not too thin. The thin gel makes it super comfortable for my horse.
