Anatomical Gel Padded with Cut Back Ears 5/8 Crownpiece - Black
- Price
- $84.95
A crownpiece that actually works with your horse — not against them.
Most traditional snaffle bridles ignore one critical factor: how the crownpiece distributes pressure across the poll and influences the line to the bit.
This pressure relief crownpiece is designed to correct that.
Why It Matters
The line from the poll to the bit directly affects:
- Comfort
- Contact
- Relaxation
This anatomical design allows the bridle to:
- Sit clear of the TMJ (one of the most sensitive areas of the horse’s head)
- Avoid pressure on the facial crest
- Create a clean, balanced line for improved communication
Key Features
✔ Pressure Relief Design
Distributes pressure evenly across the poll instead of concentrating it.
✔ Cutaway Ear Shape
Reduces restriction and allows natural ear movement.
✔ Medical Grade Gel Padding
Internal gel layer for superior cushioning and shock absorption.
✔ 5/8” (⅝”) Cheekpieces
Slightly wider for stability and a classic snaffle bridle look.
✔ Leather Outer Finish
Durable, refined, and built for everyday performance.
Designed For
- Snaffle bridles
- Horses sensitive over the poll
- Riders wanting softer contact and improved acceptance of the bit
The Real Difference
Many horses show resistance that’s often blamed on:
- The bit
- The rider’s hands
But in reality, it often starts with pressure at the poll and poor bridle alignment.
This crownpiece addresses that at the source.
What’s Included
- Black anatomical pressure relief crownpiece
- Throatlatch included

Love this crownpiece. The leather is sooooo soft! Very well made.
So very pleased with my new crown piece. My Dutch warmblood is 17.1 hds and is 1500 lbs. He has very large bulbs at base of his ears and his oversize bridle fits very well except for the original crown piece. The anatomical crownpiece fits perfectly.
The cutback and gel padding is perfect. I'm able to mix Cob/Horse pieces as needed, invaluable!
Really nice quality and gel seems to add comfort on crown piece
