A browband is far more than just another piece of tack: it's an easy way to personalise the look of a bridle and create a style to suit every occasion. To round off its collection, Equipassion is unveiling two new Preciosa crystal browbands for horses: the Silver V Browband and the Edelweiss Browband.
Two designs, two styles, one shared aim: to add a touch of sparkle and originality to your tack. So which horse browband should you choose – an elegant V-shaped line or a design inspired by the mountain flower?
Why choose a crystal browband for your horse?
The browband is a particularly handy piece for personalising a bridle. It lets you change the look of your tack without having to replace all of your equipment.
With an Equipassion interchangeable browband, you can switch styles whenever you like: a subtle design for everyday riding, a crystal browband for a competition, or something more eye-catching for a photo shoot.
Crystals also bring sparkle to your tack and create a detail that draws the eye to your horse's head.
Discover the new Equipassion browbands
For this new collection, Equipassion offers two designs with very distinct looks: the Silver V Browband with Preciosa crystals and the Edelweiss Browband with Preciosa crystals.
The Silver V Browband with Preciosa crystals
The Silver V Browband stands out with its V shape and several rows of Preciosa crystals. Its silver finish adds sparkle to your tack while remaining easy to pair with different leather colours.
Its shape follows the line of the horse's forehead and gives a different finish from a straight browband.
Available in Pony, Cob and Full sizes, it can be paired with different leather colours, including havana, black and hazel.
The Edelweiss Browband with Preciosa crystals
The Edelweiss Browband has a design inspired directly by the mountain flower that gives it its name.
Its central decoration takes the shape of a stylised edelweiss, surrounded by clear crystals that catch the light.
It comes in two finishes:
- Rose Gold, for a soft, luminous look;
- Glossy Black, for a bolder contrast.
This browband is available in Cob and Full sizes and can be paired with the different leather colours of our tack.
Please note: the central flower is fixed and not interchangeable. It is the whole browband that uses the Equipassion interchangeable system.
Silver V Browband or Edelweiss: which should you choose?
Both designs let you personalise a bridle, but their look is quite different.
For an elegant, sparkling style: the V browband
The Silver V Browband with Preciosa crystals is particularly suited to riders looking for an elegant, detailed line.
Its several rows of crystals bring sparkle to your tack, while its V shape gives the bridle real character.
It works especially well with:
- a competition look;
- an in-hand showing class;
- a photo shoot;
- an outfit with silver accessories;
- black, havana or hazel tack.
For an original, floral style: the Edelweiss
The Edelweiss Browband is more for riders who want an original, instantly recognisable detail.
Its floral inspiration brings something different to your tack, while keeping crystals as the eye-catching element.
The choice between Rose Gold and Glossy Black also lets you completely change the mood of the look.
How to choose the colour of your crystal browband
You can choose the colour of your browband to match the leather, your horse's coat colour or simply the style you're after.
With a black bridle
A silver browband creates a bright contrast against black leather.
The Edelweiss in Glossy Black creates a more harmonious set, while the Rose Gold adds more contrast.
With a havana bridle
Havana leather pairs easily with metallic details and crystals.
The silver browband creates an elegant contrast, while the Rose Gold Edelweiss makes for a warmer combination.
With a hazel bridle
Hazel leather can also be paired with both designs.
The choice mainly depends on the look you want: bright and classic with the silver, or more original with one of the Edelweiss colourways.
Crystal browbands to personalise your bridle
One of the main benefits of these new designs is how easily they transform a bridle.
An interchangeable browband lets you keep the same bridle while changing its look.
One bridle, several styles
With a few browbands, the same bridle can take on a whole range of looks.
For example:
| Occasion | Desired style | Recommended browband |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday schooling | Understated and elegant | Classic or subtle browband |
| Competition | Sparkling and detailed | Silver V Browband |
| Photo shoot | Original and eye-catching | Edelweiss |
| Showing | Elegant and refined | Silver V Browband |
| Original look | Floral and different | Edelweiss Rose Gold |
| High-contrast look | Modern and bold | Edelweiss Glossy Black |
This modular approach lets you personalise your tack without changing the whole bridle.
Preciosa crystals: a detail that catches the light
Both new designs feature Preciosa crystals, which bring their sparkle to your tack.
On the silver browband, the crystals are set in several rows that follow the V shape.
On the Edelweiss, they highlight the flower-inspired central decoration.
The result differs from one design to the other, but in both cases the crystals are one of the key elements of the design.
Which browband should you choose for a competition?
The choice depends above all on the style you're after and your overall outfit.
The Silver V Browband for an elegant look
With its silver finish and several rows of crystals, the V browband creates sparkling, detailed tack.
It's a particularly good option when you want to build a coordinated set with silver fittings or accessories.
The Edelweiss for a more original touch
The Edelweiss breaks away from classic designs thanks to its floral decoration.
The Rose Gold gives a soft, luminous finish, while the Glossy Black creates a bolder contrast.
How to match your browband to your saddle pad
To create a coordinated look, you can also choose your browband to go with your saddle pad and your riding outfit.
Match the metallic details
A silver browband is easy to echo with silver details on your saddle pad, accessories or outfit.
Rose Gold, meanwhile, can be picked up in certain details of your outfit or saddle pad for a more polished combination.
Don't overdo it
With a crystal browband, there's no need to add lots of other highly decorated pieces.
The browband can become the centrepiece of your tack, simply paired with accessories in matching colours.
Why choose an Equipassion interchangeable browband?
The new Equipassion browbands are part of a personalised tack approach.
The idea is simple: rather than changing the whole bridle, you can swap the browband to create a new style.
This lets you:
- personalise your bridle;
- switch between styles;
- adapt your tack to different occasions;
- coordinate your equipment;
- create different looks from the same bridle.
The Silver V Browband and the Edelweiss are two different ways to personalise the same tack.
Which new Equipassion browband is right for you?
In the end, the choice comes down to two styles.
Looking for an elegant, sparkling and structured finish? The Silver V Browband with Preciosa crystals stands out with its V shape and several rows of crystals.
Looking for a more original, nature-inspired design? The Edelweiss Browband with Preciosa crystals offers floral decoration with a choice of Rose Gold or Glossy Black.
Either way, the browband gives your bridle a new identity and lets you personalise your equipment to suit your style.
