Ascot Quality Leather Comfort Padded Flash Bridle with Stainless Steel fittings.
This Comfort Flash Bridle features a softly padded head piece, noseband & browband. The browband and noseband are also beautifully raised, adding to the luxury of this bridle.
The Noseband has two shorter buckled side straps to attach it to the head piece, and the flash strap helps with bit evasion. The head piece has cheek and noseband straps each side, eliminating the need for an over the head strap on the noseband, and helps avoid unnecessary poll pressure. It also makes the bridle more balanced with even pull to each side.
A very attractive bridle, offering enhanced comfort. One of our most popular Bridle types.

Care Instructions
Leather should be cleaned and conditioned regularly to keep it supple and to prolong its life. Here are some useful tips on how to maintain your bridlework:-
i) Always apply leather conditioner several times before using new tack, this will soften and protect the leather before use.
ii) Remove sweat and grime everytime the bridlework is used, using a slightly damp sponge or cloth.
iii) Re-apply leather conditioner as necessary, climate and use effect this, like watering a plant too much is as bad as too little!
iv) Depending how often you ride, you will need to dismantle your bridle completely for a thorough cleaning periodically. This will involve using leather cleaner (not saddle soap) and the re-application of conditioner.
v) Check the stitching and billets regularly, paying particular attention to where the bit is attached to the bridle at the reins and the cheek pieces, any wear should be repaired, or replaced by a reputable saddler immediately.
