We recommend applying leather conditioner or balm before the first use. Repeat with leather conditioner as needed if the leather feels dry.

Do not use oil as the leather already contains high levels of natural oils.

After each use when cleaning the leather, use a damp cloth or sponge with only water to remove dirt and sweat. Soften it with high-quality leather soap. Store it in a cool, dry place.

All Bhoof leather products are crafted from naturally tanned leather, by using only vegetable tanning methods. More information can be found in our guide.

Change the noseband regularly; do not always ride with the same one. This alters the pressure on the top of the nose for the horse. Peder usually has one noseband for training at home and another for competitions. Don’t tighten the noseband too much; you should be able to fit at least two fingers between the noseband and the nose.

Some horses are comfortable without a lower noseband and with this bridle, you can easily remove it.
