Dy'on X-Fit Headstall D-Collection

We offer this model in size Full. If in doubt, measure the cheekpiece length and the nose circumference of the bridle your horse currently wears and compare these with an existing Full bridle.

Adjust the noseband so that you can still slide two fingers flat underneath. Because the noseband here continues into the cheekpieces, the cheekpiece buckles also move the height of the noseband at the same time: take your time over this and check that the hole sits level on both sides.

Clean the leather with glycerine soap and feed it with paraffin oil. Vegetable-tanned leather asks for feeding a little more often in the first weeks; after that a treatment following each thorough clean is enough.

This bridle suits riders who care about fit and leather quality and who want a clean, understated bridle that does not look out of place in training or at a competition. The construction with a continuous noseband is interesting for horses where you want to keep as many straps and buckles as possible out of the cheekbone area.

If you are looking for a bridle with a flash strap for extra action on the mouth, a model with a combined noseband from our range is the better choice. If you ride bitless, a hackamore bridle makes more sense. And if you want matching reins straight away, bear in mind that here you choose them separately.

Adjust the noseband so that you can still slide two fingers flat underneath. Because it continues into the cheekpieces, the cheekpiece buckles also move the height of the noseband: take your time and check on both sides that the same hole is used. Reins are not included.

Clean the leather with glycerine soap and feed it with paraffin oil. Vegetable-tanned leather needs feeding more often in the first weeks; after that, one treatment after each thorough clean is enough. Let wet leather dry slowly at room temperature, never next to a heat source.

Are the reins included?
No. This bridle is supplied without reins; you choose those separately.

Which size should I take?
We offer this model in Full. If in doubt, compare the cheekpiece length and nose circumference with a bridle that currently fits your horse well.

Does this bridle come 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?
The noseband type is not stated by the manufacturer. What is certain is that the noseband is ergonomically shaped and continues into the cheekpieces.

Why is a cut-back headpiece different?
It keeps the base of the ears clear and carries the weight of the bridle across a wider surface, rather than on a narrow strip behind the ears.

How do I care for the leather?
Clean with glycerine soap and feed with paraffin oil. Always let wet leather dry slowly at room temperature, never near a heat source.

What does vegetable-tanned leather mean in practice?
It feels firmer at first and breaks in more slowly, but then takes on the shape of the head and ages beautifully with regular feeding.
