A browband is more than a decorative piece – it’s an essential part of your bridle setup, providing both stability and style. At Criterion, we design browbands that combine durability, comfort, and elegant craftsmanship, giving every rider and horse a polished, professional look. Whether you ride for sport, training, showing, or casual hacking, our browbands are made to enhance performance while allowing you to showcase your unique style.
Our collection includes a wide range of designs such as bling browbands, curved browbands, anatomical browbands, padded leather browbands, wave styles, crystal browbands, and show-ready premium leather models.

🔍 How to Choose the Right Browband Size
A browband should sit comfortably without pulling the bridle forward or slipping back.
If it’s too tight → it may pinch behind the ears.
If it’s too loose → it may drop low on the forehead.
