Setup, Compatibility & Care
When setting up the bridle for the first time, begin by adjusting the headpiece straps symmetrically before moving to the noseband. Ensure the cavesson sits two finger-widths below the cheekbone to avoid nerve pressure. For care, wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and grit. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the natural oils from the leather. Regularly inspect the silver fittings and keep the crystal browband clean by gently wiping it with a dry microfiber cloth to maintain its shine.
