Flexible Fit Astor Bitless Bridle Havana

This Premium English Leather Bitless Bridle features a Clear Crystal Mid Thin Wave Browband and Straight Raised Plain Noseband.

This Havana gel bitless bridle is hand crafted from the finest quality English leather and padded with our unique gel to create one of the most luxurious and comfortable bridles on the market. 

This bridle uses our tried and tested gel padding for an unsurpassed level of comfort for your horse. Padding the headpiece and browband, this gel is activated by your horse's body heat and moulds to the shape of their head with use. 

All crownpieces in this range are cut back behind the ears for comfort. With a monocrown construction, all straps in this bridle are buckled on both sides of the poll. This allows the crown piece itself to consist of a singular leather piece, effectively reducing pressure on the highly sensitive poll and ear areas. 

Featuring stainless steel hardware, billeted cheekpieces, and the highest quality leather construction, this bridle will last you years to come.

This bridle does not include reins

LEATHER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for your purchase of your Flexible Fit product. In order to maximise the lifecycle of your products, we have included these care instructions for you to follow.

How to maintain your bridle/leather product

Flexible Fit products are unique in that they are pre oiled in the vegetable tanning process. You will notice how soft the leather is when you receive your Flexible Fit product, and this means that maintaining your bridle/leather products is simple.

The following steps should be adhered to in order to maximise the life of your product.

• Once you receive your product, try it on for fit. Do not do up the buckles as this will mark the leather, instead thread through the keepers in case you need to exchange the size. When you are certain that it fits properly, do the following BEFORE use.
• Use a leather cream such as Effax Leather Balsam to nourish and moisturise the leather. You will need to pay particular attention to the headpiece and make sure it is well moisturised.
• During the first two weeks of use you should cream your bridle 2-3 times per week to lubricate the leather fibres.
• DO NOT condition the leather every day after the first two weeks.
• DO NOT EVER use liquid oil.
• Once the leather is soft and well-conditioned, maintenance should be minimal. Occasional creaming is recommended once every 1-2 months.
• An occasional saddle soap can be used and can be wiped with a damp cloth at owner’s discretion by following product label directions. Do not use product on the bridle every day.
• If your bridle looks cracked or creased, you have not given the leather adequate leather conditioner, or not adequately conditioned the bridle before use.
• Clean your patent with a petroleum jelly (minimal amount)

Happy Riding!
