- Slide the browband over the hobby horse's head so it sits neatly across the brow.
- Bring the shank bit up to the mouth and settle it in position.
- Fasten the cheekpieces evenly on both sides so the bridle sits straight.
- Run the split rein back over the neck ready for leading or pretend riding.
- After play, wipe the leather with a soft damp cloth and hang the bridle up to dry naturally.
