BR Hereford Bridle

This version is offered in size Full, the usual size for a horse of normal build. Measure your current bridle strap by strap and compare before you order.

Fit the noseband with room for two fingers between the strap and the bridge of the nose, about two fingers below the cheekbone. Under the throatlash, leave the room of a flat hand. Check that the crystal browband stays clear of the base of the ears: if the browband is too short, it pulls the headpiece forward against the ears.

When cleaning, work carefully around the crystals. Wipe there with a slightly damp cloth and keep leather soap and grease away from the stones, so no white residue is left between the settings. The straps themselves are cleaned with leather soap and treated afterwards with a nourishing product. Store the bridle dry, on a rounded rack.

The Hereford suits riders looking for a classic bridle with a discreet, elegant touch and with comfort details on the headpiece and noseband. In black it looks smart in the competition arena and stays usable for daily training.

If you would rather have a completely plain bridle with no decoration, choose a model without crystals from our range. If your horse needs a specific noseband type, for example a grackle or a drop noseband, choose a bridle built for that. Bear in mind, too, that this version is only offered in black and in size Full, and that the reins come separately.

Fit the noseband with two fingers of room between the strap and the bridge of the nose, about two fingers below the cheekbone. Under the throatlash, leave the room of a flat hand. Reins are not included.

Around the crystals, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and keep leather soap and grease away, so no white residue is left between the settings. Clean the straps with leather soap and feed them afterwards. Let the leather dry at room temperature, not next to a heat source, and store the bridle dry on a rounded rack.

Are the reins included?
No, the reins are not included. You choose them separately, for example in the same colour and in a width that suits your hand.

Which size should I take?
This version comes in size Full, suited to a horse of normal build. Measure your current bridle for comparison.

Is this bridle available in other sizes?
The sizes we stock as standard are listed under the technical specifications. Other sizes can be ordered in on request.

What type of noseband does this bridle have?
A rounded raised, padded cavesson noseband that runs over the headpiece.

What does 'noseband over the headpiece' mean?
The noseband does not hang from a separate narrow strap but is carried by the headpiece itself. That gives a more stable fit.

How do I clean around the crystals?
With a slightly damp cloth. Keep leather soap and grease away from the stones, so no white residue is left between the settings.

How do I care for the leather?
Wipe down after the ride, clean regularly with leather soap and feed afterwards. Let it dry at room temperature, not near a heat source.
