Product Information
Full details
The Montar Normandie Flash Bridle is designed for equestrians who prioritize both classical elegance and horse comfort during daily training or competition. Its primary strength lies in its anatomically shaped headpiece and targeted padding, which relieve poll pressure, though users should note that the high-quality leather requires consistent maintenance to remain supple over time.

Troubleshooting
Stiff leather out of the box
Apply a generous amount of leather conditioner or oil and work it into the grain before your first ride.
Flash strap is difficult to remove
Check that the leather loop is not stuck due to newness; apply a small amount of leather balm to the keeper to help it slide freely.
Buckles feel tight
Check for debris in the rubber lining; ensure you are using the correct hole size to avoid excessive tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, wipe the bridle with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove any transit dust. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to soften the leather, paying special attention to the areas where the crownpiece meets the cheek pieces. When setting up, ensure the headpiece is positioned so the V-gap rests directly behind the ears. For long-term care, clean after every ride with glycerin soap and re-oil as needed to maintain the suppleness of the leather. Store in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to prevent drying or cracking.
