Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Preparation: Before first use, apply Neatsfoot oil to the leather using a brush or sponge. Allow it to dry, and repeat until the leather is supple and soft. This process enhances the leather's flexibility and durability.
Fitting: Ensure the bridle fits your pony correctly. Adjust the headstall, browband, noseband, and throatlash for a comfortable and secure fit. Check for any pressure points.
Cleaning: Remove dirt with a damp sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Leather Care: Treat the leather with Ezi-Groom leather soft soap for regular cleaning. For quick cleaning, use Ezi-Groom glycerine leather spray or leather wipes. Allow the leather to dry naturally away from a heat source, and treat it once dry.

Compatibility: This bridle is compatible with various bits. Make sure that the bit chosen suits your pony's mouth and training needs. The bridle's design allows for easy bit changes.

Storage: Store the bridle in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
