barnsby bridles

Does anyone own one? What are they like for quality, wear and tear? I currently have a Kate Negus bridle but what a padded headpiece and need new reins (this would cost me over £100 just for these from KN). Saw Barnsby at Hickstead and they were doing comfort headpiece snaffle to fit my horse, any noseband with either gummy or rubber reins for £125!

Have a Barnsby Comfort bridle with Mexican noseband and Gummi reins. Super quality and the beauty of it is you just switch nosebands at the buckle.....

Great, thanks. I was advised to use the gummi reins as I have small hands and struggle to keep a grip on rubber reins. Whereas the gummi's are more flexible?

Yep they are much thinner and more flexible that traditional rubber reins. I have ditched all other reins and have these on both my bridles!

was thinking of getting it for my very highly strung mare

I have a made to measure comfort bridle with gummi reins for one of mine and I love it, fantastic quality and she seems more relaxed in it too

I've got the Barnsby bridle with comfort headpiece and interchangable nosebands and love it - its very hard wearing as well as comfortable for the horse.
