FAQs
Is this bridle FEI legal?
Yes, the Montar Monarch is approved for use in FEI jumping, dressage, and eventing competitions.
Are reins included?
No, the reins are sold separately and are not included with this product.
How do I know which size to get?
The bridle is available in Pony and Full sizes; measure your horse's current bridle or head dimensions to choose the closest match.
Can I replace the browband?
Yes, the browband features easy-to-detach poppers, making it simple to swap for different styles.
How often should I condition the leather?
Depending on usage and climate, conditioning every 1-2 weeks is recommended to keep the leather soft and durable.
Does it fit all horse breeds?
The ergonomic design is highly adjustable, but it is specifically shaped to accommodate horses with standard to sensitive head conformations.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping through buckles
Ensure the rubber-lined buckle keepers are properly positioned over the strap ends to maintain tension.
Noseband feels misaligned
Check that the curves of the noseband are centered on the face and that the padding is resting evenly against the jawbone.
Difficulty with browband poppers
Ensure the poppers are aligned correctly before applying pressure; if they remain stiff, apply a tiny amount of leather lubricant to the snap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bridle, adjust the poll strap first to ensure the headpiece is centered comfortably behind the ears without restricting movement. Adjust the noseband to ensure it sits clear of the prominent facial nerves, utilizing the padding for a snug but not restrictive fit. For care, clean the leather after every ride using a quality leather cleaner to remove sweat and debris. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Store the bridle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the stitching and leather quality.
