FAQs

How do I clean the browband?

Remove dirt with a damp sponge, then treat with Ezi-Groom leather soft soap or use Ezi-Groom leather spray or wipes.

What type of leather is used?

The browband is made from eco-friendly, vegetable-tanned leather.

How often should I oil the leather?

Apply Neatsfoot oil before the first use and regularly as needed to keep the leather supple. Avoid excessive oiling.

How do I measure for the correct size?

Measure your existing browband or the width of your horse's forehead from cheekpiece to cheekpiece while the bridle is on.

What if the stitching comes loose?

If the stitching comes loose, it's best to have it professionally repaired to ensure the browband's integrity.

Can I use this browband on any bridle?

It is designed for the Velociti range. While it may fit other bridles, ensure compatibility first.

Troubleshooting

Browband doesn't fit the bridle properly.

Ensure you have the correct size and style of browband for your bridle. Double-check the attachment points to ensure they are correctly connected.

Leather appears dry or cracked.

Apply leather oil or conditioner to rehydrate the leather. Follow the care instructions to prevent future issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This browband is designed to fit bridles within the Velociti range. Ensure it's the correct size for your horse and compatible with your existing bridle.
Fitting: Attach the leather loops at each end of the browband to the bridle's cheek pieces. Ensure it lies comfortably across the horse's forehead, without being too tight or loose.
Before Use: Apply Neatsfoot oil with a brush or sponge and leave to dry, repeat until the leather is supple and soft.
Maintenance: Remove dirt with a damp sponge then treat with Ezi-Groom leather soft soap. For quick cleaning use either the Ezi-Groom glycerine leather spray or the Ezi-groom leather wipes. Allow damp leather to dry naturally away from a heat source and treat once dry.
Regular Checks: Regularly check your leather and stitching for signs of stress, replace if necessary. Do not use excessive amounts of oil.
