FAQs
Are these cheek pieces sold as a pair?
No, these are sold as individual cheek pieces. You may need to purchase two if you are replacing both sides of your bridle.
What does '5/8' refer to?
The '5/8' refers to the width of the cheek piece in inches. This is a common size for many bridles.
How do I clean these cheek pieces?
Clean with a slightly damp cloth. For best results, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner for equestrian tack.
Can I use these on any bridle?
They are designed for general compatibility with bridles that accept a 5/8 inch wide cheek piece. Always check your bridle's specifications for precise measurements.
What material are they made from?
They are hand-crafted using Mackey High quality materials.
Do these come in other colors?
While this specific listing is for Brown, other color variants like Black are available for the Mackey Classic Cheek Pieces.
Troubleshooting
Cheek piece does not fit properly
Verify that the cheek piece is 5/8 inch wide, as specified. Measure your bridle's corresponding part to ensure compatibility. Ensure you are attempting to attach it to the correct part of the bridle headstall.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Clean the cheek piece with a damp cloth, then apply a quality leather conditioner suitable for equestrian use. Allow the conditioner to absorb before using.
Buckle or attachment point is difficult to fasten
Ensure no debris is obstructing the buckle or strap. Check that the strap is correctly aligned before attempting to fasten. If stiffness persists, a small amount of leather conditioner applied to the buckle area might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These cheek pieces are designed to be attached to the bridle headstall. Ensure the existing straps are unbuckled or unthreaded, then thread the new cheek pieces through the appropriate loops or buckles on the bridle. Securely fasten them to match the tension of the other side of the bridle.
Compatibility:
This specific product variant is 5/8 inch wide. It is crucial to measure your existing bridle's cheek pieces or consult your bridle's specifications to confirm compatibility. While the product is described as 'Classic Cheek Pieces', they are designed to fit standard bridle components. This brown variant is intended to match brown leather tack.
Care:
To maintain the quality and appearance of the Mackey Classic Cheek Pieces, clean them regularly with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for equestrian tack. Avoid excessive moisture and direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
