FAQs

What type of bit is compatible with this bridle?

The Finetti Rolled Leather Anatomical Bridle is designed for use with snaffle bits. The innovative cheekpiece fixture allows for secure attachment to standard snaffle cheekpieces.

Are reins included with the bridle?

No, reins are not included with the Finetti Rolled Leather Anatomical Bridle. They are sold separately. Premier Equine offers matching Finetti Rolled Leather Reins.

How do I clean and maintain the Italian leather?

After each use, wipe with a damp cloth. Periodically use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed instructions.

Is this bridle suitable for a horse with a sensitive poll?

Yes, the bridle is specifically designed with an anatomical padded headpiece that contours away from sensitive poll and ear areas, making it ideal for horses that are sensitive in these regions.

What does 'rolled leather' mean?

Rolled leather refers to leather that has been folded and stitched to create a rounded, smooth edge. This technique is used for aesthetic appeal and to provide a softer feel, often seen on browbands and nosebands.

How do I adjust the bit height?

The bridle features an innovative cheekpiece fixture with a single buckle located above the poll. This allows for easy and precise adjustment of the bit's height by tightening or loosening this specific buckle.

What material is the hardware made from?

The hardware, including buckles and rings, is made from stainless steel, which is known for its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Bridle not fitting correctly

Review the setup steps and adjust all buckles, including the throat lash and noseband, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The anatomical headpiece should sit clear of the ears. Refer to sizing guides if available.

Horse appears uncomfortable or resistant

Double-check the fit, especially around the poll and jaw. Ensure the bit is correctly positioned and the noseband isn't too tight. Consider if the horse may need more time to adjust to the anatomical design. Consult with a professional if discomfort persists.

Leather appears dry or stiff

The bridle may require conditioning. Clean the leather first, then apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. Avoid over-conditioning, which can make the leather greasy.

Hardware tarnishing

Clean the stainless steel hardware with a soft cloth and water. For stubborn tarnish, use a mild metal polish specifically designed for stainless steel, and ensure all residue is wiped away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Begin by carefully unbuckling the bridle.
  2. Gently place the anatomical headpiece over the horse's head, ensuring it rests comfortably.
  3. Fasten the throat lash, ensuring it is snug but not tight, with approximately a hand's width between the throat lash and the horse's jaw.
  4. Attach the bit to the innovative cheekpiece fixtures, using the single buckle above the poll for easy adjustment. Ensure the bit is positioned correctly in the horse's mouth.
  5. Secure the noseband, ensuring the padded section sits comfortably and the flash strap is adjusted appropriately for your horse's needs.
  6. Attach reins (sold separately) to the bit.

Compatibility:

  • This bridle is designed for snaffle bits. Ensure your chosen bit has appropriate cheekpiece rings for attachment.
  • It is suitable for a wide range of horse breeds and head shapes due to its anatomical design, particularly for those sensitive around the poll and ears.
  • Reins are not included and must be purchased separately. Premier Equine offers compatible Finetti Rolled Leather Reins.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the bridle with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every 4-6 weeks, or as needed based on climate) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply conditioner sparingly and allow it to absorb fully before wiping off any excess.
  • Storage: Store the bridle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably on a bridle rack to maintain its shape. A bridle bag can offer additional protection.
  • Hardware: Keep the stainless steel hardware clean and dry to prevent any potential tarnishing.
