Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the roundings, attach the two ends of the leather strap to the snaffle and curb rings on your pelham bit. Ensure the buckles are securely fastened and pointing away from the horse's skin to prevent rubbing. It is critical to adjust the length of the roundings to ensure the leverage balance is appropriate for the horse's sensitivity.
For maintenance, wipe the leather with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the material.
