FAQs
Are these cheek pieces sold with any hardware?
No, these are sold as spare cheek pieces only. Any necessary buckles or attachment hardware would need to be sourced separately or be part of your existing tack.
What does '5/8 Inch' refer to?
The '5/8 Inch' refers to the width of the cheek piece, which is a standard measurement in equestrian tack for ensuring proper fit with certain bridle and headgear designs.
Can I use these with a bridle from a different brand?
While these are Mackey branded, they may be compatible with other brands if the width (5/8 inch) and attachment style match your existing equipment. It is recommended to check the specifications of your current tack.
How should I clean these cheek pieces?
Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners to preserve the material and finish.
What is the primary material used?
These cheek pieces are handcrafted using Mackey High-quality materials, known for their durability in equestrian use.
Are these suitable for all types of horses?
The suitability depends on the overall fit of the bridle or headgear they are attached to, and the horse's specific conformation. The 5/8 inch width is a key factor for compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Cheek pieces do not fit
Verify that your existing tack requires 5/8 inch cheek pieces. Ensure you are attempting to attach them to compatible components and that all hardware is correctly aligned.
Material appears worn or damaged upon arrival
Inspect the product immediately upon receipt. Contact customer support with details of the damage for a resolution, as this may indicate a defect.
Difficulty in securing the cheek pieces
Ensure all buckles or studs are properly threaded and tightened. Check for any obstructions in the hardware or the cheek piece attachment points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These cheek pieces are designed to be attached to existing bridle or headgear components. Ensure you have the corresponding buckles, straps, and connection points. Align the holes on the cheek pieces with the attachment points on your bridle and secure them using the appropriate hardware (typically buckles or studs, not included with these spare parts).
Compatibility: The primary compatibility factor is the 5/8 inch sizing. These cheek pieces are intended for use with equestrian equipment that specifically requires this width. While they are branded as Mackey, they may also be compatible with other brands of tack that use standard measurements and similar attachment mechanisms. Always verify your existing equipment's specifications.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Mackey Classic Cheek Pieces, clean them regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material. Store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent premature wear.
