This bridle is ideal for show jumping and general schooling, as the grackle noseband provides stability and prevents the horse from crossing its jaw.
Gently brush the sheepskin after it is dry to remove debris. If it becomes heavily soiled, use a mild leather-safe sheepskin detergent and allow it to air dry slowly away from direct heat.
No, this product listing is for the bridle headpiece, cheekpieces, and noseband only.
While the Argentinian leather is high quality, you should avoid saturating it. If it gets wet, wipe off excess moisture and let it dry naturally before applying conditioner.
With regular cleaning and careful maintenance, the contrast stitching will remain clean. Avoid using dark dyes or heavy oils that may bleed into the thread.
Apply a coat of quality leather conditioner to soften the fibers and allow the leather to naturally mold to the horse's head through consistent use.
Ensure the sheepskin pad is centered at the junction and check that the straps are not over-tightened, which can pull the noseband out of alignment.
To achieve the perfect fit, start by adjusting the cheekpieces so the bit sits comfortably in the corners of the mouth without excessive bunching. Once the bit height is set, adjust the grackle noseband; the sheepskin-lined intersection should sit comfortably over the nasal bone, not too low to restrict breathing.
For care, wipe the bridle down after every ride to remove sweat and salt, which can degrade the leather. Clean with a quality leather saddle soap and apply a light leather conditioner weekly to keep the material supple. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
