FAQs

Does this browband fit non-Shires bridles?

Yes, the browband is designed with standard loop ends and elastic inserts, making it compatible with most traditional English-style bridles.

Can I use this for dressage competitions?

Yes, the restrained design is typically suitable for most dressage and show jumping requirements, but always check your specific discipline rulebook regarding equipment.

How do I choose the right size?

Choose based on your horse's bridle size. The Pony, Cob, and Full sizing categories correspond to standard industry measurements for headpieces.

Are the diamantes likely to fall out?

They are set securely, but like any decorative tack, they should be stored properly and inspected periodically to ensure no damage has occurred from impacts.

What is the material of the browband?

The base is made from high-quality leather with elasticated nylon inserts in the loops.

Troubleshooting

Browband is difficult to slide onto the headpiece

Ensure the headpiece is clean and flat. If the leather is cold, bring it into a warmer environment for a few minutes to increase the flexibility of the elastic inserts.

Diamantes look dull or cloudy

Gently wipe the stone surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or residue. Avoid using liquid leather dressings directly on the diamante row.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, low-profile diamante detailing
  • Ergonomic curved shape for better fit
  • Universal compatibility due to elastic loop inserts
  • High-quality leather construction
  • Easy to switch between different bridles

Cons

  • Diamantes require careful cleaning to avoid damage
  • Limited to blue tonal color scheme
  • Leather requires periodic conditioning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

To attach the browband, simply slide the loop ends onto the headpiece of your existing bridle. If the leather is stiff, ensure the bridle is at room temperature to allow the elastic inserts to flex more easily.

Compatibility

This browband is compatible with most standard English-style bridles. It is available in Pony, Cob, and Full sizes to ensure a proper fit across various horse breeds.

Care

Maintain the leather by using a mild leather soap or conditioner, taking care to avoid getting heavy oils on the diamante studs, as this can cloud their brilliance. To clean the studs, use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and buff immediately with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes on the diamante line.
