Comfort bridle suggestions

[ann-jen]

I'm off to the British Open tomorrow and with my new saddle imminant I'm thinking of splashing out on 1 or possibly even 2 new bridles.

My current bridle is a Barnsby and its lovely so I might just go for another one of those but unfortunately its tan and my new saddle will be havana.
I'm looking for a padded headpiece, brass buckles and either one bridle with interchangable grackle and flash nosebands (like the Barnsby I have) or a grackle and a flash bridle as I'm far too lazy to keep changing bits and nosebands between disciplines. Oh and it would be nice but not essential to have a fancy browband - but nothing too extravagant.
Anyone know of anything that fits the bill and I will keep an eye out tomorrow and see which I like the best. Thanks.

I think Kate Negus does a bridle similar to your description

Sabre do the nicest bridlework of all, I think.
I splashed out on a Stroud Saddlery IR bridle (shaped padded headpiece etc) last year and am not v happy with it (esp considering the pretty big price tag) as the leather is still really stiff, and it rubbed the mare's cheek quite badly the other day. (i clean it and put effax on it every time i use it.) so, wouldn't recommend one of those tbh!

Im possibly a bit late but have you looked at Dever saddlery Ascot range, they arnt posibly as good quality as some others but they have really nice comfort headpeices and can have grackles or flashes etc

I am also looking for a new bridle, Passier or Barnsby are great but have a look on the keiffer web site too
