FAQs

Are the reins included with this bridle?

No, the reins are sold separately.

Can I remove the flash noseband?

Yes, the flash noseband is designed to be removable for versatility.

Is the browband adjustable?

The browband is fixed in size but the design is anatomically shaped for a better fit across the forehead.

What type of leather is used?

The bridle is crafted from soft, supple, pre-oiled leather.

Is this bridle suitable for competition?

Yes, the elegant crystal detailing and professional design make it suitable for dressage competition.

How do I protect the buckle points?

Troubleshooting

Bridle feels stiff after storage

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness and work the leather gently.

Noseband buckles difficult to adjust

Ensure the roller buckles are clean and free of debris; applying a small amount of leather dressing to the straps can improve movement.

Headpiece sliding forward

Verify that the throatlash is adjusted to the correct length to hold the headpiece securely in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the bridle, adjust the cheek pieces evenly to ensure the bit sits at the correct height in the horse's mouth. Secure the flash noseband if required for your specific discipline, ensuring the roller buckles are positioned over the guards to prevent pinching. For maintenance, clean the leather after every ride with a mild, horse-safe leather soap to remove sweat and dirt. Periodically treat the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner or oil to keep it supple and prevent it from drying out. Store the bridle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the material.
