Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after storage
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or oil to rehydrate the fibers and work the leather gently.
Noseband is not sitting symmetrically
Use the double buckles on the noseband to micro-adjust the position until the strap is centered on the bridge of the nose.
Headpiece is pinching the ears
Check that the headpiece is not pulled too far forward; ensure it is positioned properly behind the ears in the poll cavity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your Arika Cavesson Bridle for the first time, wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth to remove any manufacturing residue. The leather should be conditioned regularly with high-quality leather balsam or oil to maintain its suppleness and weather resistance. When storing, ensure the leather is kept away from extreme heat, which can cause cracking. This bridle is designed for standard snaffle bits and is compatible with most standard reins. For long-term storage or traveling to shows, it is compatible with the LeMieux Luggage Collection. Always ensure the buckles are correctly fastened and that no excess strap is loose before mounting.
