>HEADPIECE

The Exion Hercules Hunter Bridle features a straight padded mono-crown headpiece designed especially for hunters. True to traditional hunter tack aesthetics, it avoids excessive shaping or embellishment, maintaining a clean and sophisticated profile. Subtle ear cutouts are carefully integrated without altering the crown’s straight silhouette, ensuring both comfort and the classic hunter look.

>BROWBAND

The straight padded browband is complemented by raised fancy stitching, a hallmark of fine hunt bridles. This understated yet elegant detail enhances the overall design while highlighting the craftsmanship and balance hunters appreciate in the show ring. 

>NOSEBAND

The straight, raised, padded noseband follows the same traditional hunter style as the original Hercules Hunter Bridle, but in a thinner & more refined profile. Finished with elegant raised fancy stitching, it preserves the timeless hunter aesthetic while offering a slightly sleeker appearance preferred by riders who favour a finer noseband in the hunter ring. The soft padding helps distribute pressure evenly across the horse’s nose while maintaining the balanced and sophisticated look expected from premium hunter bridles.

>REINS

Included with the bridle are 5/8" wide laced reins, also known as braided reins, favoured by hunter riders for their secure grip and classic appearance. A unique feature of these reins is the detachable martingale stoppers, giving you the flexibility to use the same bridle for hunter classes or jumping—remove it for the hunter ring or attach it back for training and jumping sessions.

>HARDWARE

Both the reins and cheekpieces use hook stud fastenings, offering a neat, seamless look. Like all Exion bridles, the hunting bridle is finished with premium stainless steel hardware for long-lasting durability and a polished shine. 

The Exion 'Hercules' Thin Hunter Bridle combines timeless hunter tradition with refined proportions and understated elegance. Designed for riders who appreciate a slimmer hunter noseband without compromising the classic raised & padded hunter look, this bridle delivers the polished appearance, comfort, and craftsmanship expected in both everyday riding and the show ring.
