Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, ensure the bridle is cleaned with a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple. To set it up, attach your chosen bit to the cheek pieces, ensuring they are adjusted evenly on both sides to maintain alignment. When fitting, check that the noseband does not restrict the horse's breathing and that the browband sits comfortably without pulling on the ears.
Care instructions: After each ride, wipe down the leather to remove sweat and dust. Periodically clean with a leather cleaner and apply a leather balsam to maintain the longevity of the stitching and material. Keep the brass-colored fittings free from buildup by polishing them with a soft, dry cloth.
