FAQs

What is the EVO NL design?

The EVO NL design is optimized for horses with less space at the poll, offering enhanced comfort and anatomical relief.

What is Velociti RAPIDA leather?

Velociti RAPIDA leather is eco-friendly, vegetable-tanned leather known for its suppleness and durability.

How often should I oil the leather?

Apply Neatsfoot oil as needed, typically when the leather feels dry or stiff. Avoid over-oiling.

Can I use other leather cleaners?

Yes, but ensure they are suitable for use on vegetable-tanned leather. Ezi-Groom products are recommended.

What if the headpiece doesn't fit my horse?

Ensure you have the correct size. The headpiece is available in various sizes. If the fit is still incorrect, consult a saddler for assistance.

How do I clean the headpiece?

Remove dirt with a damp sponge and treat with Ezi-Groom leather soft soap or use Ezi-Groom wipes.

What is the purpose of the angled throatlash?

The angled throatlash provides an elegant profile and may contribute to a more comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or dry.

Apply Neatsfoot oil and allow the leather to absorb it. Repeat until supple.

Stitching appears worn or damaged.

Discontinue use of the headpiece. Replace if necessary.

Check the fit of the headpiece and adjust as needed. Ensure there are no pressure points.
