Maintenance of your bridle
A well-maintained bridle not only ensures lasting comfort for the horse, but also extends the life of the leather and other materials. Regular maintenance keeps the bridle supple and strong, preventing wear and damage that can lead to discomfort or injury to the horse. Read on for all the tips & tricks for the best maintenance.
The products you need
To properly maintain a bridle, you need the following products:
- Leather cleaner: this deeply cleans the leather and removes stains from the leather.
- Leather balm: this has a nourishing effect and keeps the leather supple.
- Sponges: For applying the leather cleaner and leather balm.
- Clean cloths: For wiping off excess product and polishing the leather.
- Water: For rinsing off dirt and dust.
Steps and Techniques
- Disassemble the bridle: Disassemble all parts of the bridle. This makes it easier to thoroughly clean and grease each part.
- Use a slightly damp sponge and saddle soap to clean the leather. Rinse the sponge frequently and repeat until the leather is clean. Make sure no soap residue is left behind.
- Dry the leather with a clean cloth.
- Apply a thin layer of leather balm with a clean sponge or cloth. Do not use too much product, as excess balm can make the leather sticky and attract dust. Let this soak in for a while.
- Use a clean cloth to lightly buff the leather. This creates a nice shine and helps the balm soak into the leather well.
- Carefully reassemble the bridle, making sure all straps and buckles are secure.
Once you have completed these steps, your bridle is ready to use again!
Additional Tips
- Clean the bit every time after riding, this prevents bacteria from spreading. You also immediately remove dirt from the bit. The bit can be cleaned with water.
- It is best not to treat the Swarovski stones in your front strap with leather products. Use some water and a lint-free cloth or special Swarovski cleaner.
- Take a picture of the bridle before taking it apart so you can reattach the straps in the right place.
- Store the bridle in a dry, clean place. A good solution is to use a bridle bag or the matching UNIQ bridle bag.
With these guidelines and tips, you can ensure that your horse’s bridle stays in top condition, contributing to your horse’s well-being and the durability of your equipment.
