Idea This super fine and lightweight cavesson from the Hippocampus collection was crafted according to the philosophy of the renowned Horsemanship trainer Silke Vallentin. Our goal was to develop a product that is as light as a rope halter yet as precise as a traditional cavesson. In this way we aim to elevate the fine and sensitive communication between horse and rider to a new level. Headpiece The headpiece of this cavesson is as light as a rope halter yet offers, through the small rings on the noseband, the versatility of a classic cavesson. This construction allows refined aids to be given and communication with your horse to be refined. The headpiece sits comfortably against the horse’s head, providing maximum comfort and precise control. Noseband The noseband of this cavesson dispenses entirely with a metal arch or chain and is instead designed to be thin and lightweight. The three characteristic rings on the noseband offer flexible attachment options for a light rope or cavesson lunge. In addition, a further ring is attached to the chin strap fastening, so that depending on the exercise and desired contact you can alternate between the rings on the noseband and the ring on the chin strap. This thoughtful design enables precise and refined aids. Recommended for This fine cavesson is ideally suited for horse-and-rider combinations that have already established a good basic communication and wish to refine it further. It is particularly well suited for lessons requiring correct positioning and bend, as it helps to avoid faulty rotation in the poll. A note: this delicate cavesson is intended for refinement according to the Horsemanship principles of Silke Vallentin and presupposes a good basic communication. Aids should at this stage only be given through subtle impulses. If you and your horse are at the beginning of training or are looking for a suitable headpiece for the basic work of a young or strong horse, we recommend our rope halters, cavessons or leather cavessons. A cavesson crafted according to the principles of Silke Vallentin, designed for greater comfort and sensitive communication. |

The proper care of smooth leather
With the right care and a mindful approach, you can maintain the beauty and longevity of your smooth leather and enjoy your product for a long time. Smooth leather is a high-quality natural material that retains its characteristics through use and care — and with proper treatment, it comes into its own beautifully.
Change of optics
Even smooth leather can show slight changes over time: it may become softer, and the surface may slightly change in gloss or texture. This development is not necessarily a defect in quality, but can be an expression of the natural properties of the material.
Stain Formation & Protection
Smooth leather is also sensitive to liquids, grease, or dirt. To avoid unsightly stains or fading:
- Avoid direct contact with water, grease, or oily substances.
- After each use, a gentle cleaning is recommended to prevent residues like sweat or dust from penetrating the leather.
- Use suitable care products such as cleaners, conditioning balms, or leather oil to protect the leather from drying out and fading.
Cleaning & Care
- Daily cleaning: Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush or a clean cloth. Then wipe the leather with a special care cloth – this will eliminate dirt, sweat, and moisture before they cause damage.
-
Regular care:
- After cleaning, apply a suitable care balm sparingly with a sponge or cloth.
- In case of heavier use, an intensive leather oil can be used that penetrates deeply into the leather and conditions it.
- Allow the care products to take effect and then polish the leather with a soft cloth to remove excess products and enhance the surface.
- Special Demands: Highly stressed areas such as belts or straps should be regularly inspected and maintained, as they can particularly suffer from friction or sweat.
Storage
The storage plays a crucial role:
- Store your smooth leather product in a dry, warm place with good ventilation so that moisture can escape optimally.
- Avoid direct sunlight and strong heat sources – these can dry out or fade the leather.
- Proper storage prevents mold formation and maintains the suppleness and stability of the leather.
