FAQs
Is this browband suitable for all bridle types?
It is designed for standard English-style bridles that feature loops for the browband to slide through.
How do I measure for a Cob size?
A Cob size is typically intended for horses with a head circumference smaller than a Full size but larger than a Pony; it is best to compare it against a browband that currently fits your horse.
Can the browband be used in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it is recommended to keep leather tack dry. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Are the rhinestones replaceable?
The crystals are professionally set; if a stone is lost, it is recommended to contact a professional tack repair specialist.
Can I use leather oil on this product?
You can use light leather conditioner, but avoid applying heavy oils directly onto the crystal embellishments.
Troubleshooting
Snap button feels loose
Check for debris inside the snap mechanism and ensure the leather loop is not obstructed during closure.
Crystals appear dull
Gently buff the surface of the stones with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and sweat residues.
Browband is too tight on the headpiece
Ensure your bridle headpiece is not overly padded or excessively thick, as this can affect the snap closure security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply open the safety snap buttons at each end of the browband, loop them through your bridle's headpiece slots, and snap them shut until they click. This product is designed as a standard cob size and is compatible with most traditional English bridles. To maintain the leather, clean it with a quality leather conditioner, taking extra care to wipe around the crystal settings with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the rhinestones, as this may dull their shine or degrade the adhesive holding them in place.
