Horse Browbands & Show Browbands — The Detail That Defines a Bridle.
The browband is one of the most visible parts of a horse's bridle — and one of the easiest ways to personalise a horse's look, complement a competition colour scheme, or add a touch of sparkle to a show turnout. From understated plain leather for everyday schooling to heavily decorated diamante and crystal designs for the showring, the right browband finishes a bridle and frames a horse's face in a way that no other piece of tack quite manages.
Types of Browband
-
Plain leather browbands – Classic, unfussy designs in black or brown leather; the standard choice for everyday schooling, hacking, and disciplines where plain tack is required
-
Diamante & crystal browbands – Feature rows or patterns of rhinestones, crystals, or diamante stones; popular for showing, dressage, and any discipline where a more decorative look is appropriate
-
Coloured & beaded browbands – Fabric, velvet, or beaded designs in a range of colours; allow riders to coordinate with their competition colours or add a personal touch to everyday tack
-
Padded browbands – Feature additional padding behind the browband for horses that are sensitive around the ears or forehead; combine comfort with a neat appearance
-
Show browbands – Premium designs with intricate crystal or stone work, often handmade; the choice for riders competing at higher levels where presentation is judged closely
Sizing & Fit
A correctly fitted browband should sit flat across the forehead without pulling the headpiece forward or pinching behind the ears. Measure from the centre of one cheekpiece loop to the other across the forehead to find the right size for your horse or pony.
