FAQs
What material are these cheek pieces made from?
They are crafted from high-quality, durable leather.
Will these fit any bridle?
They are designed to fit most classic-style bridles that use standard buckle-end cheek piece attachments.
How often should I oil these?
You should apply a leather conditioner as needed, generally once a month, or more frequently if the leather is exposed to harsh weather conditions.
Can I use these for competition?
Yes, their classic black design and professional construction make them suitable for both everyday training and competition use.
Are they sold as a pair?
Yes, the Mackey Classic Cheek Pieces are supplied as a pair to ensure both sides of the bit are adjusted equally.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is stiff or difficult to fasten
Apply a small amount of leather dressing or oil to the leather near the buckle to soften it.
Leather feels dry or rigid
Clean the leather thoroughly and apply a deep-conditioning balm to restore moisture.
Billet end does not fit through keeper
Ensure the leather hasn't swollen from moisture; if it is new, the leather may need to be worked gently to soften the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove your existing cheek pieces by undoing the billet ends and sliding the bit out of the loops. Attach the Mackey Classic Cheek Pieces by threading the bit rings through the loops and securing the billets through the corresponding keepers on your bridle. Compatibility is optimized for standard classic leather bridles. To maintain the life of the leather, wipe away dirt after every use with a soft cloth. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner monthly to keep the material from cracking or drying out, especially if used in wet or arid climates.
