So, I've been doing my research and have managed to narrow the bridles I like down to the following:
-Stubbën 1000 Bridle - Full Size/Choco/Flash Noseband/Padded
-Passier Aquarius Padded Head Snaffle - Full/Havana/Crank & Eventa Reins
-Elevator Bridle with Flash - Havana/Brown/Full
-Schockemohle Michigan Snaffle Bridle - Brown/Cob
Does anyone have an opinion on which is the best? I'm in love with all of them, I also need a flat hunter cavesson, I liked Stübbens?
Thanks :)
 
Haven't owned any of those but been on yards that have had the elavator bridle and really like the fit of it, also love the jefferies IR bridle, the leather is beautiful and soft, sadly i cannot afford to buy one :(
 
I really like Stübben, but I've heard some people say that the leather isn't great. :( also Don Harry Bridles are gorgeous but rather expensive - I like the Jefferies but I had the flat cavesson and didnt like the leather quality :( think I'll probably get an Elevator and the Passier but argh I love them all!
 
Really good price! The only thing I'm worried about when it comes to this is leather colour - Havana is so hard to get in the same colour, they're all different shades :(
 
I have a couple of cob sized black elevator bridles. They are nice but I've found ike ohers have that the leather stretches really badly. If you clean it at all you ruin the thing completely!

Hence, I've just ordered a Micklem:cool:
 
That's a good idea, I'm going to take pictures of my saddle and see what tack matches in colour :) I like her tack for Besoke but how long do they take to make?

Dang, I was so set on an Elevator and a Bespoke bridle :( I like the Micklem but don't want to change since Trevor goes so well in his regular bridle and the leather quality is supposed to be poor :( Tell me what you think of yours? :)

Interesting, mine have never stretched. I use the stuff Elevator supply and have never oiled them. Wonder if that's the difference.

Maybe, I'll probably still get one! And maybe a super bling Browband! Lol I'm trying to decide what I should get for my second? I like the idea of a Bespoke or maybe a Passier or a Schockemohle? But it has to match an Equipe short stud girth and Equipe v-check breastplate :)

I have had the Elevator and the same model Passier and prefer the Passier hands down, a lovely bridle to work with everyday, and comes up a treat for shows.
 
Decided against a Stübben as I wanted something with padding around the poll
:( Does the elevator have poll padding? I'm really keen on the Passier, I love the padding! Is the leather very soft? I really like the idea of the Elevator though! :)
 
I like Sabres but I wasn't sure on the leather colour!
search

Would it match this?
 
I can't see the picture, sorry.

It might not be 'expensive' enough but I just bought an FSS (on Ebay) and am thoroughly impressed with leather quality and the choices they have - all sorts from plain to bling. I'm more on the plain side, meself, but they have some interesting colours and sparkly stuff. But as I said, you might want to spend more than the £54 it cost me...
 
Sorry, it's an Ideal Impala Professional Jump :)
If the qualities good then I'll check it out though I would prefer to go through bridles from companies with proven track records. I'll have a look!
 
I completely agree and am normally the same, but I checked out their feedback and looked them up on here, and the comments were all good. Comparing it with others in the tack shop I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between it and the expensive brands.

Just read your first post and noted the flat hunter cavesson requirement... when I was looking, I liked the look of the Jaguar hunter bridle but didn't have a need for one.

Good luck!
