Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your noseband, thread the main strap through the headpiece loops of your current bridle, ensuring the browband sits correctly across the horse's forehead. Adjust the flash noseband so that it sits comfortably above the nostrils but is not too tight. Compatibility is broad, as it uses standard buckle attachments, making it compatible with most traditional English bridles.
To maintain the leather:
- Wipe down with a damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and dirt.
- Apply a high-quality leather conditioner weekly to keep the material supple.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out.
