FAQs
Can I use this bridle for competition?
Yes, its classic, elegant design makes it well-suited for various equestrian disciplines and competitions.
How do I remove the flash strap?
The flash strap is designed to be easily removed by sliding it out of the loops on the noseband, allowing you to convert it into a standard Cavesson.
What is the benefit of the V-gap headpiece?
The V-gap reduces pressure on the horse's poll and provides more room around the ears, which encourages freer movement through the neck.
Is the leather pre-oiled?
The leather is soft and supple out of the box, but we recommend applying a light coat of leather conditioner before the first use.
How often should I clean the bridle?
For optimal maintenance, wipe the bridle down after every ride and condition it weekly to keep the leather in top shape.
Troubleshooting
Bridle feels stiff after storage
Thoroughly clean the leather and apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Noseband feels uneven
Check that both cheek straps are adjusted to the same hole and the central crown piece is centered.
Flash strap is difficult to attach
Ensure the leather loops on the noseband are not twisted and align the flash tab carefully before sliding it through.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Montar Normandie Flash Bridle, proper setup and care are essential. Start by adjusting the headpiece first to ensure the browband sits comfortably without pinching the ears. Ensure the padded noseband is centered over the jawbone and fastened snugly, but not tightly, to allow for proper movement.
For compatibility, this bridle is designed to fit standard bit types. Regarding care, always clean the leather after every use with a mild soap to remove sweat and grit, which can act as abrasives. Use a high-quality leather conditioner at least once a week to maintain the softness of the leather and prevent cracking in the padded sections.
