FAQs
Can I use this browband with a non-Shires bridle?
While it is designed for the Velociti RAPIDA range, it can be used with any bridle that has compatible loop sizes, provided the dimensions align with your horse's head.
How do I ensure the crystals stay in place?
Avoid bending the leather excessively and clean gently with a soft cloth to prevent putting unnecessary stress on the crystal settings.
Is the leather suitable for sensitive horses?
Yes, the vegetable-tanned leather is chosen for its quality and softness, reducing the likelihood of irritation.
Does this browband come in different colors?
The current model features a black leather finish with black diamante crystals.
Is the stitching durable for daily training?
The hand-stitched construction is designed for durability; however, routine maintenance of the leather will prolong the life of the stitching significantly.
Troubleshooting
Browband appears too tight or uneven on the horse's head
Verify that the bridle's browband loops are adjusted correctly and the browband is centered evenly across the forehead.
Diamantes look dull or lack luster
Gently clean the surface of the crystals with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove horse sweat, dust, or grooming products.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant and understated design suitable for various disciplines
- High-quality, supple vegetable-tanned leather construction
- Curved shape provides a flattering fit for the horse's head
- Hand-stitched detailing ensures long-lasting durability
Cons
- Best performance when used with the matching Velociti RAPIDA range

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply slide the browband onto your existing Velociti RAPIDA bridle crownpiece through the pre-cut leather loops. Ensure the curve of the browband points downward to follow the natural contour of the horse's forehead.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe the leather regularly with a damp cloth to remove sweat and grit.
- Apply a quality leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the vegetable-tanned material.
- Use a soft, dry cloth to buff the crystals, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could dull the surface or damage the setting.
- Store in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use to preserve the integrity of the crystals.
