FAQs
What sizes are available for the Mackey Plaited Browband?
The browband is currently available in Pony, Cob, and Full sizes to accommodate various horse types.
Is this browband suitable for dressage competitions?
Yes, its traditional design and high-quality finish make it a common choice for formal equestrian disciplines.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your current browband from end to end and compare it to the standard dimensions for Pony, Cob, or Full sizes.
Can I use oil to clean this browband?
While leather oil can soften the material, it is recommended to use a dedicated leather conditioner to avoid over-darkening the brown finish.
Does it come with a bridle?
No, the Mackey Plaited Browband is sold as an individual component to be attached to your existing bridle.
Troubleshooting
Browband appears stiff or dry
Apply a generous layer of leather conditioner and allow it to absorb fully before wiping off excess.
Loops are too tight to slide onto the bridle
Ensure the bridle crown piece is fully detached before installation; if still too tight, verify that your bridle width is compatible with the standard sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: simply slide the browband loops over the headpiece of your existing bridle. Ensure the crown piece is properly adjusted after installation to maintain correct bit placement. To preserve the quality of the leather, wipe the browband with a damp cloth after each ride to remove dirt and sweat. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner monthly to keep the material supple and prevent the plaited sections from becoming brittle. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
