I ticked £50-£100 but that is for a flat cavesson bridle. I bought mine for £75. Raised cavesson/flash would be more. Elevators more still.
What sort of bridle are you after?

I have a Heritage comfort with a crank noseband but would like a smart cavesson bridle for doing a bit of local showing.

I bought a Sabre bridle for about £100 when I got Chex, as his "good" bridle, but I wish I hadn't bothered as it was just a waste of money! I rarely use it so it just sits in the tackroom getting mouldy
. I wouldn't pay more than £25 for a bridle now.

I was going to say I have spent over £150 on a bridle - but that's not strictly true, OH coughed up the cash! It was a birthday present for me (I think, or it might have been for Ludo, OH is a big softie when it comes to Ludo!

I bought an albion kb comfort bridle for my mare as her skin is very sensitive and these are very soft. But I got it off ebay secondhand! Still paid a lot for it though!
I dont think I would want to pay more than a hundred as I dont need to. If I was a serious show or dressage rider then perhaps I would.
I do think that with bridles you get what you pay for really. I would never compromise on leather quality, purely for safety reasons.

i think if you find the right bridle for you it doesnt matter if its only £2 its not the cost of it its the quality. i dont think you should pay over £100 for one though ..

Not a lot. I have to many things stolen from us to spend a lot.

my everday bridle is a GFS £40
and my show bridle is kate negus £100
i think most of the time you get what you pay for. however my gfs has lasted a year so far and still going strong so was impressed by that.
if you buy a cheap bridle oiling the hell out of it over a week or so works well if its a bit stiff.

Ty's got a barnsby which cost £140 - well worth the money. Liked the elevator but was a bit too chunky for Ty's head and i'm not overly liking the crank nosebands....
