Product Information
Full details
The Mackey Classic Fulmer Loops are an essential equestrian accessory designed for riders using fulmer or full cheek snaffle bits. These durable, double-ended leather loops provide a reliable connection between the bit and the bridle's cheek pieces, ensuring stability and correct bit positioning during training or competition. While they offer superior security for your tack, they do require periodic conditioning to maintain the suppleness of the high-quality leather.

FAQs
Can I use these with bits other than fulmer snaffles?
No, these are specifically designed for the structure of fulmer and full cheek snaffles and will not fit traditional loose ring or D-ring bits.
How do I choose between Black and Brown?
Choose the color that best matches the leather of your current bridle to maintain a professional and cohesive appearance.
How often should I replace the loops?
Inspect the leather for signs of cracking or stretching regularly. Replace them if the material begins to thin or if the stitching shows signs of fraying.
Do I need any tools to install them?
No, the Mackey Classic Fulmer Loops are designed for tool-free installation by hand.
Will these help prevent the bit from pinching?
Yes, by stabilizing the bit, they prevent it from shifting excessively, which can help reduce the risk of pinching at the corners of the horse's mouth.
Troubleshooting
Loop feels too tight to fit over the bit
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to soften the material, which will allow it to stretch slightly for easier installation.
Leather looks dry or brittle
Clean thoroughly with saddle soap and apply a generous coat of leather oil or balsam, allowing it to soak in before use.
Pros and Cons

- Made from high-quality, long-lasting leather

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Begin by removing the bit from the bridle. Slide the bridle cheek piece through the larger hole of the Mackey Fulmer Loop. Attach the bit to the bottom of the cheek piece, then loop the smaller, curved section over the side shank of the full cheek snaffle. Pull firmly to ensure the loop is seated correctly in the groove of the bit shank.
Compatibility: These loops are specifically designed for use with fulmer and full cheek snaffles. They are compatible with most standard English bridle cheek pieces.
Care: Clean the leather after every use with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or saddle soap regularly to prevent the leather from cracking, especially if stored in dry or variable-temperature tack rooms.
