LJ Leathers Headstall New Classic

This version comes in size Full, the usual size for a horse of normal build. Before ordering, measure your current bridle strap by strap and compare the length of the cheekpiece and noseband.

Adjust the noseband so that two fingers fit between the strap and the nasal bone, about two fingers below the cheekbone. Fasten the flash strap looser than the noseband itself: it is there to keep the bit stable, not to pull the mouth shut. Under the throatlash, leave the space of a flat hand.

Wash the web reins with stops separately when they get dirty and let them dry at room temperature. Care for the leather with saddle soap followed by a feeding product. Hang the bridle on a rounded bracket so the padded headpiece keeps its shape, and store it dry.

This bridle suits riders who want everything in one go: bridle and reins together, in an understated black version that looks well turned out in training as well as at competitions. The combined noseband makes it usable in dressage and in jumping.

If you deliberately ride without a flash strap, or your horse needs a grackle or a drop noseband, choose a model from our range that is built for that. If you want to put your own reins together, in rubber or smooth leather for instance, a bridle without reins makes more sense. Also bear in mind that this version is only offered in black and in size Full.

Adjust the noseband with two fingers of room between the strap and the nasal bone, about two fingers below the cheekbone. Fasten the flash strap looser than the noseband: it keeps the bit stable, it does not pull the mouth shut. Under the throatlash, leave the space of a flat hand.

Wash the included web reins with stops separately when they get dirty and let them dry at room temperature. Clean the leather with saddle soap and then feed it. Hang the bridle on a rounded bracket so the padded headpiece keeps its shape, and store it dry.

Are the reins included?
Yes. Web reins with stops are supplied.

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 on request.

What type of noseband does this bridle have?
A combined noseband: a wide, padded noseband with a flash strap that runs under the bit.

What are the stops on the reins for?
They give your hand fixed reference points, so you feel immediately where you are taking hold, even in wet weather or with sweat.

Can I leave the flash strap off?
The flash strap is part of this model. If you want to ride without one, choose a bridle with a single noseband from our range.

How do I care for the leather?
Wipe it down after riding, clean it regularly with saddle soap and then feed it. Let the leather dry at room temperature, away from a heat source.
