Chape now replaced with proper bridle leather 💪 Incidentally, this bit of your leather headcollar should always feel pretty substantial - the headcollar must break if needed, but the break points are usually at the ring where your lead rein clips on. These bits are easy to repair. Stitching a new buckle chape on to a whole headcollar can sometimes be a wrestling match - if making from scratch, most saddlers do these bits first!
