LJ Leathers Headstall Superior Crystal

When fitting, first check that the browband really sits free. With a crystal-set browband you notice sooner if it touches the base of the ears, because the edge there is stiffer than on a plain browband. Leave a finger's width of play behind the ears.

Fit the flash strap loosely, and only after the noseband itself is in place. Two fingers under the noseband is the rule of thumb; the flash strap should stabilise the bit, nothing more.

Clean the leather with mild products and then treat it with a leather conditioner, paying extra attention to the folds at the buckles. Wipe the crystals separately with a dry cloth. Do not use soap or grease there, as it stays behind between the settings and dulls them. After a wet ride, simply let the web reins dry in the air, not next to the heating.

This bridle suits riders who want a distinct, polished look and at the same time value an anatomical headpiece and soft padding. It works in dressage and in daily training, and it stands out in the arena without you having to add anything to it.

If you prefer a plain look, choose a version with an ordinary curved browband from our range instead, for example the standard Superior model or the Sarra model with its rounded stitched finish. If you ride without a flash strap, a model with a plain or a grackle noseband makes more sense. And watch the size: this bridle is only available here in Cob.
