Looking at getting a new bridle, I really like the Albion KB but have seen on dressage deluxe the passier bridles and they look lovely but I have never seen on in real life.
Plenty of people on the yard have the albion though which also lovely.
Does anyone have the passier out there and do you like it ?

I have a KB Bridle & it is lovely, well made ,nice fit & soft. I love it, it does need some bling though i will get round to buying a nice browband for it.

However if i lived in a land of make believe i would have to buy a Passier Rolled Bridle they are just gorgeous to look at. I havent really seen the Passier bridles up close or ever handled one so i can't comment on them really.

Will stick with my lovely KB though.
 
dressage crazy - I assume your talking about the £600 one ! They look amazing !
Im just talking about the £200 one unfortuantely !
 
I have two passiers and they are fantastic, the leather is really soft and does not stretch. It cleans really well. I decided to go with the Passier after one of my friends got one (she had tried all different brands before and had problems but she loves the Passier). I got both of mine fom www.freedomdressage.co.uk they where cheaper than DD. FD where very helpful , I ordered the wrong size but they quickly exchanged it . I also bought an extra browband off them so I have a bling one when I compete. Go for the eventa reins they are good. I love the rolled as well but OH will not let me have.
 
Passier all the way for me, just can't compare with the Albion (which is still a fantastic bridle).

I will always by passier bridles from now on.
 
They are much of a much S- I only went for the Albion because I prefered the drop on it and wanted the 1/2 nubuck reins. Also the Passiers come up really small and I wasnt sure if the XF would be big enough for B and TDS were really unhelpful with the different options which meant ordering it online.

The Passier works out cheaper as you can buy it with the drop (the Albion you have to buy the flash/ crank and buy the drop seperately) but do they do a grackle?! The Scorpious comes with a really nice bling browband too
