Hi guys, am on the lookout for a nice new brown bridle for the beast in the pics below...

I have a budget of upto £120 to inc reins and would like one with the comfort/cutback headpiece if poss but with a standard noseband, I really dont like cranks! No flash required, just a snaffle cavesson bridle.

As you can see, shes a bit of an odd coloured girl so what do people think would suit? We aim to event.

Thankyou :) shes just turned 5, ive had her for 3yrs and shes had her fair share of ugly duckling stages so im glad she seems to have stopped at a good point!! I do like jeffries, nice leather but*Ideally I was on the hunt for one with a padded headpiece. Its a nightmare as they only ever seem to come with crank nosebands...!

The Jaguar cavesson bridle comes with both a crank and plain noseband attachment, I've mine set up on the plain fastening. It also has a detachable flash noseband and a padded comfort headpiece. You'd get it on ebay for £120 or less

I got a lovely Kieffer bridle with a normal noseband and a cut back head piece .. the browband was not really my cup of tea, but figured I had so many other browbands that I could easily change it .. I was also struggling to get one with the head piece I wanted without the crank
this is the 3rd bridle I have from Kieffer and the leather is lovely , soft from day one and last for ever .. Comfort Daria was the name of it - got it for 135 € on ebay new -- so should be around 100 GBP in UK

Have a look at the Dy'on Working collection from Sedeholme- they are absolutely stunning. It's by far the nicest bridle on the market for that budget :)

We've got a collection of bridles of varying size, origin, and age. My favourite one is a 12 year old Jeffries - great quality, and if given a bit of tlc still looks great at a show despite being used most days.

I love my FlexibleFit bridle- it's an Australian company but even with postage to the UK was cheaper than anything I could find here and the quality is fantastic. The headpieces and nosebands are gel padded- pure luxury!
