A fairly dull post for a Tuesday evening but our house is all down with a sickness bug and I really need another full sized bridle but just haven't had time to look thoroughly online.

I have a Stubben (might be a 1000?) and this fits the horses well (they are sharing) so looking for something similar in a flash and ideally black. I don't like very fine leatherwork as I find often the cavesson drops despite being fitted correctly (ie it sure didn't start over their nostrils!).

Any suggestions? I can't find a Stubben 1000 in a full size black and there might be other makes that are about the same price (or less??)? Crystals are out as, try as I might, teenage son won't go there!
 
I used to have stubben bridles bought from ebay - you can get a good one for very little.

I also have a heritage crank noseband comfort bridle which I thought was very good for the price, I now have one for both dressage and sj!

I think they are about £60 and come with rubber reins. Cx
 
2nd the jefferies but also, I bought a Collegiate comfort head flash a while back and have been supprisingly pleased with it - the leather has softened nicely and the caveson part of the noseband is one of the few that I have had that hasn't dropped. It is fairly chunky and its a shame you need full as mine is a cob and it now needs a new home!
 
Not sure of the price (mine has been bought in pieces spread over time) but I have a Morris and Nolan bridle which is lovely. I even had a Brand snob comment on the quality!
Mines been going 9/10 years now, nothing has dropped (although my nosebands are very thick!)
You can buy them from risely saddlery online and mix and match for the bits you want.
 
I forgot Evision, the lady who has my grey boy on loan has just bought him one and they were really flexible about sorting out "bits" that fitted him, think Full head piece, cob cheeks and a pony noseband!
