Cheap bridle recommendations for showing...

[tobiano1984]

I need to buy a flat cavesson bridle for my horse for the show ring - he's got a nice flash bridle but that won't work! We're only doing local level stuff at the moment - ridden novice, coloured, working hunter etc. So for now I just want to get a cheap havanna bridle and then if his showing career takes off I'll invest in a better one.

Looking online there are loads of brands - cottage craft, windsor, JHL etc and they all look much the same, but just wondered if anyone can recommend which is best? i.e. isn't really shiny and cheap looking (if that's possible )

Thanks!

You'd be surprised but I got a really nice soft one for daily riding from the robinsons range.

Recently bought a JHL cavesson and the leather is really soft and supple. I paid £30 for a full size

Kincade make a double that is suitable for low level showing for about £45.
