When did you last actually look at your horse's browband? 👀
Most of us don't. It just sits there. But it's doing more work than you'd think.
What it actually does:
✅Stops the headpiece sliding back towards the ears
✅Keeps the whole bridle sitting in the right place
✅Stays clear of sensitive areas so nothing rubs
Too tight and it presses on the base of the ears. Too loose and the bridle shifts every time your horse chews. Neither is comfy. Both can show up as head tossing or fidgeting under saddle.
Now for the fun part ✨
Once fit is sorted, a browband is one of the easiest ways to add some personality. Flat and simple for a classic look. Plaited for texture. Crystal or patent piped if you want some sparkle in the show ring 💫.
Same bridle. Totally different feel. No need to buy a whole new set.
Our range is made from premium leather with proper attention to detail, from simple flat designs through to the sparkly stuff. Every style is built to match the rest of our bridles.
