Not sure how much you are willing to spend I have an Albion comfort bridle with a cavesson noseband, had it 2 years now and it still looks as good as new and it's lovely and soft.

I'm trying to save up for a really nice, quality bridle for my gelding. I love Kieffer and Stubben bridles.

I had a Stubben bridle which was the best i had ever had (dont know why i ever sold it!!) . For my new mare as i was just in the process of breaking her i bought a gallop comfort bridle off of Ebay for £26- thought it would be cheap and nasty but to be honest it was pretty damn good for the money and a year later still looks pretty new and nothing gone wrong with it- i woudln't hesitate in buying another an dhave recommended them to loads of people. J Barkley also selels nice English leather bridles on Ebay for around £40 which are supposed to be really good quality for the price (RRP in shops is £100+). You can get loads of cheap and discounted bridles on Ebay (especially Stubben) Now i've had a comfort bridle for Ellie i would never have anything else

I have an old jeffries plain hunter bridle - it's nearly 20 years old now, and still in regular use and looks great. well worth the money and if I had to buy a new bridle it would be the same again!

Stubben bridles are very nice and very good quality,mine also have gfs bridles for at home which stay tidy and aren't too costly!

I love my Albion comfort bridle. Had it for 3 years and still looks as good as new.

 

[honey-bees]

jefferies and colliegate are great makes -- depends on if you want a padded/raised, workman like bridle etc

I like Jefferies and Fylde. They come up beautifully time and time again.

I don't like Sabre - mine quickly went tatty looking, and dull. Despite being cared for properly. It's possible I had a poor example, but one is all it takes.

I have a Kate Negus bridle, a Kieffer and the Sabre. The Sabre is an oldy but goody, but my KN one is my favourite.

I love my two Sabre. And I like Kieffer.

Albion or Elevator for me I wont touch a cheapo bridle if I don't have to!
