LJ Leathers New Pro Bridle without reins

This bridle is offered in Pony. If in doubt, measure your current bridle: the length of the cheekpiece and the circumference of the noseband tell you more than the size name alone, because that varies from brand to brand.

Adjust the noseband so you can easily fit two fingers underneath it at the nasal bone. The headpiece should sit just behind the ears without pressing against their base, and the browband must not pinch anywhere. Check the adjustment again once the leather has broken in over the first few weeks.

For care, a fixed routine is enough: wipe away sweat and sand after every use with a slightly damp cloth, let the leather dry at room temperature and never near a heat source, and treat it regularly with glycerine soap followed by a thin layer of leather balm. That keeps the leather supple and makes the stitching last longer.

Choose the New Pro if you want a classic-looking bridle with a wide noseband and an anatomic headpiece, for a pony that is worked daily and also goes to shows. It is a versatile model that is not pinned to one discipline.

If you specifically want a noseband with a flash strap, a bridle with a combined noseband from our range is the better fit. If you want a crossed model, a bridle with a grackle noseband makes more sense. And because the reins are not supplied here, take that into account if you are after a complete, ready-to-ride set.

Are the reins included?
No, this bridle is supplied without reins. You choose the reins separately, in the model and grip you are used to.

Which size should I take?
This bridle is offered in Pony. If in doubt, compare the cheekpiece length and the noseband circumference of your current bridle, because size names differ per brand.

Does this bridle come in other sizes?
The sizes we stock as standard are listed under the technical specifications. We can order other sizes on request.

What type of noseband does this bridle have?
The noseband is described as wide and softly padded. The specific type is not stated, so we make no claim about it.

How do I care for the leather?
Wipe the leather after every use with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry at room temperature. Then treat it regularly with glycerine soap and a thin layer of leather balm.

Why an anatomic headpiece?
An anatomically shaped headpiece follows the line behind the ears instead of running straight over it. That spreads the tension more evenly and the bridle sits more quietly.

What are hidden fastenings?
With hidden fastenings the strap ends tuck away behind the leather instead of sticking out. That gives a cleaner line and fewer loose ends.

Is this bridle suitable for daily use?
Yes. The leather stays supple and holds its shape under intensive use, provided you clean and feed it regularly.
