goed aansluitend en passend
fits like a glove


Explanation:
Een goed aansluitend en passend hoofdstel is daarbij essentieel.

This requires a bridle that fits like a glove.

I have used a Micklem Multibridle for over 10 years and it is my favourite piece of tack. It is the most comfortable, innovative and well-designed piece of equipment to have hit the saddlery shops in my life time. I won't use anything else for lungeing my horses as it is lightweight, fits like a glove without having to be cranked tight, and it is so easy changing to riding the horse following a lunge session. Why anyone would lunge in anything else is beyond me. It is perfect for riding schools where it gives the flexibility to cope with all the varied needs of a diverse client list and is also perfect for all elite schooling needs. There is nothing else as good on the market and I know it has given me a winning advantage. It is easily fitted and ideal if you need to share bridles between horses. Every yard should own a Micklem bridle and then you will want another!

'goed aansluitend' and 'goed passend' basically both refer to 'fitting well' / 'being a good fit'

'aansluiten' --> aansluiten op de anatomie en huid van het hoofd van het paard

By the way,

fit like a glove = 'als gegoten zitten' in Dutch, meaning: 'precies aansluiten op/bij' / uitstekend passen
