COLLEGIATE...

[EquestrianFairy]

Now i quite like there products, as i find its a nice english leather at a reasonable price but noone i know has any of there things..

I have the bridle, reins, martingale, breastplate, and stirrup leathers.

Are they good or am i just being pulled into marketing stratergies? anyone else use there stuff?

Hi, I have the bridle and whilst it is quite supple I find that its a bit rough on the inner side. I'm not sure its going to last that long and upon reflection wished I'd spent a bit more money on a Jeffries or Stubben.

i just recently bought a bridle as my everyday bridle , so far very impressed with the quality of the leather & workmanship for the price

I have a collegate bridle and I will NEVER buy one again

Ive had for a year and its already ready for the bin - its terrible - its a brown hunter bridle - used four/eight times per week and well looked after - but its fallin apart x

My friend bought one and it stretched so much she couldn't use it!

I have 2 of the saddles, and so far so good 0 but only 5 months down the line.

Think it's reasonable quality for the price and OK for everyday tack. Keep an eye on crucial bits like reins, cheekpieces and stirrup leather - I've got some leathers and they're wearing quite quickly.

That said, I've got a Stubben CTD bridle and altho it looks nice it's the dryest leather I've come across! (no it doesn't live in the house!)

Wouldn't buy this make by choice, although I'd prefer it over Gallop!!

Oh am a bit gutted, i bought my bridle a few months ago and LOVE it- but then my old horses bridle cost me £20 10 years ago so am comparing with that!

I bought one and then changed my mind (didnt really need another bridle but was in a sale).

Glad I did now after reading your posts

I bought stirrup leathers. Worst i have ever bought. I only bought them as my new tack shop had orsered others that were not suitable. Not had them long and they have stretched and the colour changed. Not impressed and looking for replacements.
