FAQs
Is the leather suitable for sensitive horses?
Yes, the quality leather is soft and durable; however, ensuring a proper, non-restrictive fit is key to avoiding rubbing.
Can I leave this on my horse in the field?
It is not recommended, as leather can absorb moisture and become damaged if left exposed to rain or mud for extended periods.
What does double-stitched construction mean?
It refers to the use of two rows of heavy-duty stitching, which adds significant strength and prevents the leather from pulling apart under pressure.
How do I know which size to pick?
The Equisential line comes in sizes such as Pony, Cob, and Full; choose based on your horse's breed and head size measurements.
Does the brass rust?
Solid brass is highly resistant to rust, though it may develop a patina over time that can be polished off if desired.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in the leather
Apply a dedicated leather conditioner or neatsfoot oil to restore moisture and flexibility.
Buckles are difficult to fasten
Ensure no leather debris or dirt is lodged in the buckle mechanism and check that the strap is not twisted.
Brass fittings losing luster
Use a standard brass cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to buff away dullness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable double-stitched leather construction
- High-quality solid brass fittings
- Highly adjustable for various horse sizes
- Stylish and professional appearance
Cons
- Leather requires regular conditioning to prevent cracking
- Not suitable for leaving on in muddy or wet turnout conditions
- Brass fittings may require occasional polishing to maintain shine
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the crown strap first to ensure the noseband sits comfortably at the correct height on the horse's face, then adjust the noseband buckle as needed. Always ensure there is enough room for the horse to chew comfortably without the headcollar being too loose.
Care Instructions:
- Remove dust and sweat using a soft, damp cloth after every use.
- Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 1-2 weeks to maintain suppleness.
- Keep in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Clean the solid brass fittings with a soft cloth to remove oxidation.
