Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Avignon bridle, begin by fitting the headpiece and noseband to your horse's specific anatomy, ensuring two fingers can comfortably fit under the noseband. Regularly clean the leather using a high-quality leather cleaner to strip away sweat and dirt, followed by a light application of leather conditioner to prevent the naked finish from drying out. Store the bridle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use. Check all buckle and hook stud points periodically to ensure they are fully secured before mounting.
