Bridles - Kincade

[Helga1980]

Any comments on the quality of kincade bridles - looking for a reasonable (i.e. cheap!) bridle for dressage only (M's current snaffle bridle has a flash attachment on it and I'd like a plain noseband).

Also, what is the sizing like and do they do an extra-full? His head isn't chunky but is quite long so needs plenty of size in the headpiece and browband.

Any other brands I should consider - would love a stubben but don't have £90 spare (probably nearer £45!!)

Kincade are fine, you can jst buy a Kincade plain cavesson if thats any help?

Had a bit of a saga the last time I bought something off ebay so have been a bit put off, will have to try again!

My concerns about just buying a noseband is making sure it's the same colour as the rest of the bridle.

They're fine, just oil it well to supple it up.

Mines a Kincade and doing well, but if it gets wet (i rode and it chucked it down) it goes stiff and dry and peels

but tother than that its good

I bought a Kincade Double Bridle and it's been fine. I use Albion Gel to keep it in good condition.

Looks like I will be trying a Kincade, only going to be using it for dressage (mainly indoors) so rain won't be an issue.

Now I just have to hope that the browband is long enough (the only part of a full bridle that doesn't fit him!!).
