UNIQ Headpiece 'Athene'

€90,00

A soft, steady contact begins with a relaxed poll. The 'Athene' headpiece is our innovative design, featuring a special recess for the first cervical vertebra (atlas). This unique design completely removes pressure from this extremely sensitive point, ensuring unprecedented comfort.

  • Special Atlas Recess: A unique cutout that leaves the sensitive first cervical vertebra completely free.
  • Optimal Pressure Distribution: Shifts pressure from the spine to the muscles on either side of the neck.
  • Soft Padding: The entire headpiece is softly and widely padded for maximum comfort.
  • Premium Italian Leather: Crafted from the finest, vegetable-tanned leather.
  • Available Options: Available in Black and Brown, in sizes Cob, Full, and X-Full.

Innovation in Pressure Relief Direct pressure on the cervical vertebrae can lead to tension, stiffness, and resistance. Our 'Athene' headpiece solves this with a strategically placed recess that completely avoids the spine. This shifts the pressure to the surrounding muscles, resulting in a significantly more comfortable experience. Your horse can relax more easily, which benefits flexion and bending.

Ideal for: Horses that are sensitive to poll pressure, struggle with flexion and bending, or show signs of tension in the neck area.

Care instructions

Our Italian, vegetable-tanned leather is a beautiful natural product. It is strong, supple, and breathable. With the right care and attention, it will only become more beautiful with age, ensuring continued comfort for your horse.

Don't see maintenance as a chore, but as a small, valuable ritual that strengthens the bond with your horse and your equipment.

The Care Ritual

Step 1: Daily Cleaning (After every ride)

  • Remove dirt and sweat: After each training session, take a soft, slightly damp cloth and carefully wipe off any sweat, saliva, and dirt from the leather.
  • Let it dry: Allow the bridle to air dry naturally. Never hang it in direct sunlight or near a radiator.

Step 2: Periodic Conditioning

  • Thorough cleaning: Use a good quality saddle or leather soap and a sponge to clean the leather more deeply.
  • Nourish and protect: Once the leather is completely dry, apply a thin layer of a quality leather balm, cream, or oil with a soft cloth. Remember: less is often more.

Special Care: The Swarovski Browband

Your browband with Swarovski crystals is a piece of jewelry and deserves extra attention to maintain its sparkle.

  • For cleaning the stones safely and effectively, we recommend using our UNIQ Cleaning Kit. It is specially developed to make the crystals shine without damaging the leather or the settings.
  • Tip: Avoid using leather oil or balm directly on the crystals, as this can leave a dull film and reduce their brilliance.

Our Most Important Tips (Do's & Don'ts)

  • DO: Always test a new care product on a small, inconspicuous area first.
  • DO: Store your bridle in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
  • DON'T: Never use too much water. The leather should feel damp, not soaked.
  • DON'T: Do not use harsh detergents or chemicals.

A small investment in time and care will pay you back twofold in the durability, safety, and beauty of your UNIQ Bridle.
