anyone know where i can buy a quality bridle?!

[Vicki1986]

need a pony sized brown grackle bridle (or possibly flash if anyone see's any of those too)

not from john whitaker. Pessoa only do tan colour. Amergio grakle bridle is perfect but dont do pony sz. Equiports store doesnt stock pony sizes. I may use KateNegus if cant find anything else.

any ideas? looking to spend up to £200 Max

also need a new breastplate with martingale as my cheap nasty one looks awful now.

If anyone see's one on their travels could they let me know? Thanks so much!

Jeffries - seen a nice hunter bridle of theirs but there grackle didnt float my boat, cant remember why, think it had steel not brass. im a brass kinda girl!

Go onto Saddlery4u on Ebay, they have some really nice CTD (stubben) bridles with brass fittings. Very nice.

I have bought some really lovely things from them.

why dont you buy a nice pony bridle then buy a seprate grackle and put it on and take off whatever noseband comes with it?

These are lovely - we use them for our show bridles. You won't be disappointed!

That rolled bridle......... £600!!

 

[Vicki1986]

eek £600!! haha

thanks for links guys. if anyone knows of any other id appreciate it

But the standard bridles are £170 including reins which is good value for the quality of leather. Honestly - they are the best leather I have ever seen on bridles. Really soft and supple! (and you wouldn't catch me dead wtih a rolled bridle - sorry to anyone who likes them!) - the £600 one has "French Snaps" as well - does anyone know what "French Snaps" are?

I brought my double bridle from Townfields - very good quality and very soft supple leather.

They have a clip snaffle: "This popular bridle with clip fastenings on the cheek pieces, a raised brow and flash noseband. It is finished with brass fittings and comes complete with rubber reins" and it comes in Black, Havana or Tan, in Pony, Cob or Full

I'm sure if you called them they could change the flash for a Grackle

What about an elevator? I think you can get a flash nose band with them.
Also, i've heard sue carson do nice bridles.
