Bridles to match Bates Havana

[SpaceMolly]

Hi, I have a Bates caprilli close contact saddle in havana but I can't for the life of me find a bridle to match the colour. It's not anywhere near the havana bridle I currently have. It is more of a reddy brown. Just wondering what everyone else uses.
I wouldn't normally bother but I need to use the saddle to show in so want both to match as much as possible.
Thanks in advance

Mrk Todd Oakbark is very close. I have an Oakbark Treadstone bridle which is a very close match aswell

I have a bates bridle which I was very lucky and got off ebay and have never seen one before or since but i also have a jeffries Elite australian nut one which matches well. i have had same problem with finding a girth, as dont want to spend loads but ideally another jeffries one but 2nd hand if I can get it.
Also Mark Todd bridles in Aust nut match well too. I have 2 bates saddles( 2 horses) and the other one is more of a red brown but they both have jeffries bridles!

Thank you both

My next question is do any of those bridles come with an elevator style headpiece and crank noseband?
My boy has a large head so are they quite chunky??
Sorry for all the q's!!

stubbens havanna is a good match too- its like a cherry red.

Yes I think jeffres does not sure about MT but im certain treadstone will. Jeffries you can but the different nose bands etc as the standard bridle is £150 approx with a noseband £30+ depending on which one. I have 2 bridles one had the additional bits made to match from saddler to make a double bridle and have bought grackle and cavesson nosebands seperate so I can use them for anything!

You do see them on ebay and treadstone ones ( just bought my pony a treadstone one on KatB reccomendation!)

Look on ebay if you not in too much of a hurry as they do come up

I got my Treadstone bridle off ebay too. it has to be the oakbark to match the bates

Mine has a padded headpiece.

Hello, I have a cheapo kincade rediride also reddish "oak bark" or burgundy colour. Gallop do a flash bridle which is close, or you may try getting a kincade one from the USA. They do lots of styles in just that colour! It is a nightmare. I got some beautiful stirrup leathers to match mine so that's a start! Good luckX
