FAQs

What kind of leather is used?

The Velociti Lusso Elite Bridle is made from the finest European soft, supple leather.

How do I clean the bridle?

Wipe down the bridle after each use with a damp cloth. Clean and condition the leather regularly.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather as needed, usually every few weeks or more frequently if used in wet conditions.

What if the bridle doesn't fit my horse?

Make sure you have selected the correct size. If you still have fit issues, please consult with a professional saddle fitter to make sure the bridle is suitable for your horse.

How do I adjust the noseband?

The noseband should sit approximately two fingers below the cheekbone. Ensure it's not too tight by checking you can slip two fingers between the noseband and the horse's nose.

What is the purpose of the anti-shock lining?

The anti-shock lining at critical pressure points provides extra comfort for sensitive horses by reducing the impact of pressure.
