LeMieux Ice Crystal Detachable Browband for Horses
Description
LeMieux Ice Crystal Browband — Detachable Crystal Browband for Horses
The LeMieux Ice Crystal Browband is a detachable-style browband decorated with an ice white crystal chain, designed to slot onto an existing bridle for a smarter, sparkier finish. It is best for riders who want show-ring shine on a dressage, showing or everyday schooling bridle without buying a second bridle.
The dainty narrow width and shallow U-shape contour the horse's face, following the line of the forehead rather than sitting flat and straight across it. The ice white crystals suit both black and brown leather. Browse more LeMieux equestrian products to coordinate the rest of your kit.

How to Use
- Measure your current browband from end to end and compare it with the size you are ordering.
- Undo the bridle headpiece and slide off the existing browband.
- Thread the Ice Crystal Browband onto the headpiece, keeping the crystal chain facing outwards.
- Refasten the headpiece and check the browband sits below the ears without pinching.
- Fit the bridle and confirm the ears move freely and the browband does not slide down the forehead.
- After use, wipe the leather with a barely damp cloth and buff the crystals dry.
FAQ
Will this browband fit my existing bridle?
It is a detachable style, so it threads onto a standard bridle headpiece. Browband lengths vary between makers, so measure your current browband end to end and match the size before ordering.
How do I know if I need pony, cob or full?
Measuring beats guessing. A browband that is too short pulls the headpiece forward and pinches behind the ears; one that is too long sits loose and slips down the face. Measure the browband you already use rather than working from your horse's breed or height alone.
Is it suitable for competition?
It is designed for dressage, showing and showjumping turnout, but browband rules differ by discipline and level, so check your current rulebook for decorated browbands before you compete.
Does it suit black or brown leather?
The ice white crystal chain works with both, which is why it is a popular choice for riders who own bridles in more than one colour.
How do I clean the crystal chain?
Wipe the leather with a barely damp cloth and buff the crystals dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid soaking the chain or using harsh solvents.
Is it too much sparkle for everyday use?
The narrow width keeps the effect subtle, so it reads as a refined detail rather than a heavy statement piece, and it can be removed on days you want a plain bridle.
