Bridle numbers

[Brummyrat]

I opened my Equidiscs yesterday to put on my bridle for a competition and two of the little rubber attachments them were broken! Id lent them someone recently so can only assume she hadn't realised when she gave them back :-( I want to replace these but don't want to pay £15 for a new number, does anyone know where I can buy the little white rubber doodahs? Or is there anything else that I could use other than tying them onto the bridle with elastic bands!

Thanks in advance.

I'd try giving them a call, there's a number on this page

actually there's a post on their FB page about getting replacement ones so it shouldn't be an out-of-the-blue question.

I've used plaiting bands when the elastic went on my bridle number. Works beautifully

I have a similar issue with my bridle numbers, but a different brand. Mine use elastic treasury tag type things and several have broken. I asked the company and they said they didn't sell the fixings. Clearly I am meant to spend another £17 on a new set ?. I've cobbled together a fixing using white plaiting bands, but it's not ideal.

Ridiculous isn't it! Thanks Milliepops I didn't realise they were on FB, I'll have a look x

When mine broke I just slotted the throatlash through the two slots on the disk.

Yes I like that idea, less chance of it becoming detached (which it did yesterday when I had it on the cheekpiece) - done know why I didn't think of that. Thank you

they didn't used to come with those rubber doodahs so you always had to thread them through

Jumping on this thread whilst it’s here: do you have to wear two bridles numbers now for dressage? I’m sure I read it somewhere!

 

[milliepops]

yes. well, you need a number on each side, you can use numbers on your saddle pad too.

Can I just say thank you Milliepops….I contacted them just to see if there was a means to buy new doodahs and they asked me to email them which I did, they have messaged me to say they've popped some more in the post to me! Now that's service!
