FAQs
Is this noseband suitable for competition?
Yes, its sleek design and professional appearance make it perfectly suitable for most equestrian competition disciplines.
What sizes are available?
The Shires Velociti GARA series comes in Pony, Cob, and Full sizes to accommodate various horse breeds.
Can I use this without the flash strap?
The noseband is designed as a flash noseband, but the strap is generally removable depending on your specific bridle's construction.
How do I maintain the stainless steel fittings?
Simply wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to prevent dirt buildup and maintain their shine.
Is this made of genuine leather?
Yes, the product is crafted from high-quality leather intended for durability and long-term use.
Will this fit a Western bridle?
This noseband is designed for standard English-style bridles and may not be compatible with the structural design of most Western headstalls.
Troubleshooting
Buckles are stiff to operate
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the keepers and ensure no debris is trapped in the buckle mechanism.
Leather feels dry or rigid
Regularly clean and treat the leather with an appropriate saddle soap and conditioning oil to restore flexibility.
Noseband does not fit the headpiece
Verify your bridle headpiece size (Pony, Cob, or Full) and ensure it matches the size of the replacement noseband purchased.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable stainless steel hardware
- Sophisticated raised leather design
- High-quality, long-lasting material
- Suitable for both training and competition
Cons
- Requires regular leather conditioning
- Must be matched carefully to existing headpiece size
- Limited to flash noseband configurations
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply thread the noseband through the designated loops on your existing bridle headpiece and secure it using the stainless steel buckles. Ensure the noseband sits two finger-widths below the horse's cheekbone to prevent discomfort. This product is compatible with most standard English bridles that feature a removable noseband design.
For care, wipe the leather down with a damp cloth after every use to remove sweat and grit. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent it from cracking or drying out over time.
