How to Use
- Loosen the cheekpieces and noseband before you begin so the bridle slides on easily.
- Slip the bit into the hobby horse's mouth and draw the headpiece up over the ears.
- Settle the browband straight across the forehead and lay the throatlash flat.
- Adjust the cheekpieces evenly on both sides so the bit sits level.
- Fasten the noseband and throatlash, then check the whole bridle is straight from the front.
- Lay the laced reins over the neck ready for use, and hang the bridle up after play.
FAQ
Will this bridle fit a real pony?
No. It is made for hobby horses only and is not sized or built for a live pony or horse.
What age is it suitable for?
It is suitable for ages 8 and over.
Will it fit any hobby horse?
The straps are fully adjustable, so it suits a range of hobby horse head sizes. Measure your hobby horse's head before ordering if it is unusually large or small.
What is it made from?
Soft leather with smart stitching detail, a metal bit and laced reins.
How do I clean and care for it?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth, let it dry naturally away from direct heat and use a leather conditioner occasionally to keep the straps supple. Dry the metal bit after handling.
Is it good for teaching tack parts?
Yes. Because it copies the layout of a real hunter bridle, it works well for pony club and riding school sessions on naming, fitting and cleaning tack.
