FAQs
Does this browband fit all bridle sizes?
The Full size is designed for standard horse-sized bridles, and the elastic loops provide enough flexibility to fit most headpiece widths.
Can I use this for competition?
Yes, its subtle and elegant design makes it suitable for most equestrian competitions, though you should always check the specific rules of your discipline regarding decorative tack.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure your current browband from end to end (inside the loops) to ensure the new one will match your existing fit.
Will the blue diamantes fade?
The stones are precision-cut and designed to be colorfast, though avoiding harsh chemicals or acidic leather cleaners will ensure they retain their color.
Can I leave this on the bridle in the wash rack?
It is recommended to remove the browband before washing the horse to avoid getting soap or excess water on the leather and crystal settings.
Troubleshooting
The browband feels tight when sliding onto the headpiece.
Ensure the leather is at room temperature and apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the loop ends to increase flexibility.
Diamantes look dull after use.
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently buff the surface of the stones to remove sweat, dust, or stable debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant tonal blue diamante detailing
- High-quality, durable leather construction
- Easy installation thanks to elasticized loop ends
- Flattering curved profile
- Versatile compatibility with most standard bridles
Cons
- Diamantes require careful maintenance to prevent stone loss
- Surface is harder to clean than plain leather browbands
- Limited to specific color palette
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the browband, simply slide the loop ends over the headpiece of your existing bridle. The built-in elastic inserts provide enough tension to ensure a secure fit while allowing for slight variations in headpiece thickness.
Care Instructions:
- Leather Maintenance: Clean the leather regularly with a quality saddle soap or leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
- Diamante Care: Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from between the diamantes. Avoid soaking the browband, as excessive moisture can degrade the adhesive holding the studs in place.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the leather and the shine of the crystals.
