Making the move to a double bridle. Limited funds lower than £200 (the more lower the better :p)

She is currently in a elevator snaffle and the noseband size really suits her small head but was really disappointed with leather quality as it both faded and stretched and padding wasn't that soft so don't want another elevator!
This is what she looks like in her current bridle:

Quaite like to have a rolled patent bridle, possibly with white padding?
So been browsing and found:

Love this one but says patent version isnt in stock but may be worth emailing to ask if they could get it in stock? but not rolled and not sure if the many buckles would look too bulky on her head?

Like this one:

Ive got a really nice patent double bridle that I bought on ebay for £84, the leather is really good quality and im really pleased with it. I already had a 'bling' browband which I just swapped the patent one that came with it for.

I can highly recommend Wolds aswell, their bridles are gorgeous and really good value and quality.

BD classifieds has several bridles on there ATM, inc some rolled and patent ones (also ones that are £550+ second hand, but we won't talk about those ;0)! )

I got my lovely Barnsby one off ebay for £68 about 6 months ago, it had only been tried on the horse and didn't fit. I'm really pleased with the leather quality. It took a bit of patience to find one at that price tho, any that are Albion or Elevator seem to go for their nearly new price, so worth thinking about quality brands that aren't super fashionable IMO!

As an aside my Sabre two come up small, incase you end up going for one of those.

Forgot about the BD classified- will keep my eyes open :)

Does anyone know what sort of quality vantaggio bridles are?

I've got one of those too! I prefer my evision bridle more but I didn't pay out the big bucks for my vantaggio, it was a cheaper one (still about £100)
