Bridle Shopping Help please

I'm looking for a nice smart competition bridle I like this:

http://www.throstlenestsaddlery.co....courpious-flash-bridle-TN-379-96/colour/black

But ideally want to pay £100 or under is this impossible? Any ideas?

Must have comfort headpiece, flash noseband and the cheekpiece fastenings facing inwards!

Thanks

Schockemohle bridles are lovely - really nice leather, lovely padded headpiece and comfortable noseband. I have one with a diamante browband if you like the bling! Cost c.£150 though, but it is very good quality!

 

[claire_p2001]

Yes i do like the bling Thanks will have a look

Wychanger Barton have 20% off all Albion bridlework at the moment. Might be worth looking at, though would still come out at over £100 when you put all the different bits and pieces together. Use code SPRING20. Ends either Saturday or Sunday I think.

Hippocob might be fortunate enough to get a new fancy bridle to go with his fancy SMART saddle!

The Albion bridles are stunning but sadly there is no way I can afford one even with 20% off!! Thanks though

Googling comfort flash bridles produces a lot of results .
Don't know where you are but Buckaroo at Vale View had several on sale fitting your description today though most were patent nosebands. I went hunting through looking for one to fit my apparently awkward shaped WB! Have exactly the same criteria (though have relaxed the need for billet over buckle as getting desperate!).
Wolds Exclusive Bling on facebook also have a few select bridles available on sale for under £100. I'm pleased with the bridles I already have from them .

I've just ordered an albion from wychanger for £130 excl reins If you put your own together rather than buying a complete one it somehow ends up a bit cheaper!

Wolds bridles do look lovely, if a little too blingy for my liking!

I've got a black Jaguar bridle for Dressage and a red/brown John Whitaker with brass fittings for jumping. Both over 4 years old, look really good and cost under £100.

I dream of getting a Kate Negus as they are simply stunning. Reasonably priced too but can't justify whilst my others are still in good shape. Have promised Mr P he can have one when he jumps his first BE double clear! We often jump clear when pure showjumping but think we both get over exciting when eventing.

FFS on ebay!! Really lovely, soft, expensive looking bridles. I don't know how they hold up to wear and tear because I only use mine for showing, but if that's what you're after too I imagine they'd be fine!

I have been looking for a nice bridle thats is soft leather and padded for comfort. I love Schokemohle too but they dont do XF I have been looking at Wolds Exclusive Bling. Their bridles are all hand made, soft padded leather. They make them to size. Worth a wee look. x

 

[claire_p2001]

Thanks everyone for the ideas. Typical the bridle i want from Wolds Exclusive Bling is £179 I have expensive taste!

I agree English Bridles are great quality and very reasonably priced, most are well under £100, I love mine. They custom all of their models with whichever fittings you prefer and they do a number of different and blingy browbands you can mix and match:

This. They do a wide range of colours/coloured padding and rolled and patent as well. I have a patent comfort double bridle that I use for competing - had it two years and still looks fab, coupled with my Equiture browband I get heaps of complements. And it was only £80 including both sets of reins for a double.
