The Fastest Way to Transform Your Horse’s Look? Browbands

When it comes to upgrading your horse’s style, we love it when our fellow riders think big—new saddle pad sets, maybe even a whole lot of saddle pad sets!.  But here’s the secret: the fastest, most noticeable, and most affordable way to transform your horse’s look is a simple switch—browbands.

Yes, really.

A new browband can take your bridle from basic to show-stopping in seconds. And with so many styles available—sparkly browbands, crystal browbands, leather browbands, and more—there’s something for every horse, every rider, and every arena.

✨ Why Browbands Make a Big Impact

Let’s face it: browbands sit front and center. They’re one of the first things anyone notices on a bridle. Whether you’re in the show ring or just schooling at home, the right browband draws attention—in a good way.

A sleek leather browband adds a touch of class. A bold bling browband brings personality. And a shimmering crystal browband? That’s instant glamour.

Plus, swapping a browband is fast, especially with some of our easy change models.  Just slide off one and pop on the new—and boom, your whole look changes.  

Bonus:  All of our browbands coordinate with saddle pad sets and some many different favorite styles and colors.

💎 Types of Browbands for Every Style

At Equestroom.com, we’ve got a browband for every kind of vibe:

Sparkly browbands – For riders who want shine in the sunshine and sparkle under the lights. These are eye-catchers.

Crystal browbands – Subtle or bold, these gems add elegance and flash.

Leather browbands With a Single Crystal channel – Clean, timeless, and versatile—great for both schooling and show days.

English browbands – Our designs were specifically designed for the perfect fit and look with traditional English bridles but we know many western riders have added them to their look especially the Patriot Browband which is perfect for rodeo events and parades.

Ultra-Bling browbands – Because more sparkle is always a good idea we created the Ultra Bling Line of Browbands. Go full glam and let your horse shine with the blingiest browbands yet.  We love these for their cutting edge style, quality and of course their shine.

All of our browbands are crafted with comfort and durability in mind—so your horse looks good and feels great.

🏆 Perfect for Shows, Clinics, and Everyday Confidence

Whether you're gearing up for a show or just want your horse to look as special as they are, a new browband is a low-effort, high-impact upgrade. It shows intention, style, and pride—and let's be honest, it feels really good when someone says, “Wow, love that browband.”

Pro Tip: 🐎 USDF/USEF Browband Rules (Per DR 121 Saddlery and Equipment). DR 121 in the USEF Rule Book, adopted by USDF-recognized competitions:

A browband is required in all test levels. However, the browband itself is not required to be leather or leather-like, except for the parts that attach to the headstall or crownpiece 

Decorative elements on the browband are allowed. The rule explicitly states that “decoration on browbands is permitted”, meaning sparkly, crystal, or bling browbands are acceptable under current regulations
