Antarès “Stressless” halter is made in French full grain leather especially selected and developed for Antares by the tannery Arnal in Rodez France.
Width and density of the hides are strictly controlled and the vegetable tanning process, based on chestnuts, is specially developed for bridlework to insure its longevity.
Skins are stretched while drying to avoid lengthening. Except from this operation, the leather grain is not altered during tanning process to guarantee its exclusive softness and resistance.
As a part of its sustainable development approach, Antarès is doing its best effort to exploit most parts of the skins and waste the minimum of leather.
Because of this choice, it might happen that the halters ‘leather does not seem as smooth as on some other products. A treatment with a nourishing balm will help to conceal the appearance of skin irregularities and will give the leather an attractive aspect.
