Crank Cavesson Black Comfort Bridle Brass Fittings NO FLASH wanted

[NikitaXI]

Ok guys please help, I am desperately looking for a good quality comfort bridle with a wide crank noseband BUT NO FLASH with brass/gold coloured fittings in quality black leather in full size. Every bridle I find has a flash...and I hate them! Help?????????

Can you not just take the flash off and cut the little loop off?
Not ideal I know but my friend had to do this as she didn't need the flash and the little loop was annoying.

Try Dever Saddlery, they can make to order and they are excellent quality too.

Only crank cavasson's I could find had a flash it appears to be the latest thing! I tool the flash off and used on my saddle as an emergency handle and got my local saddler to cut the loop off...sorry.

By biggest problem by far was find a plain bridle Havanna brown, no bling

Very very annoying - trying to find a bridle without a flash at the moment is like rocking horse poo!!

Sabre do a crank noseband without a flash but i think the fittings are steel...

I hate flash nosebands and they do seem to be very much in fashion at the mo. Just ordered a Collegiate cavesson bridle today but they are few and far between!

I have a kieffer bridle - excellent quality but they do all seem to have flashes. Have a look at the maja2 - brass buckles.

You could as suggested cut off the flash hook or get a saddler to remove it.

The words Comfort Bridle and Crank cavesson seem to be a bit conflicting! Crank nosebands are definitely not comfortable for the horse.

depends how tight they get done up. I prefer mine as it has padding round the back of the nose and there is nowhere for it to pinch. I make sure I can fit a couple of fingers under the noseband once it is done up.

Kate Negus do black bridles with brass fittings. You can mix and match nosebands etc. Have a look at these :-

I have EXACTLY that, mine is a sabre cordoba: it has a split padded headpiece, so the noseband doesn't put pressure on the poll. brass fitting, and I got a NS tranz to match!

Chazza - my horse has a sensitive poll, so as he goes much better in this bridle than a 'normal' one, i assume it is more comfortable for him, and therefore is a comfort bridle!

he was quite head/ear shy before I got this bridle.

Gibsons Saddlery, Newmarket. I had the same problem - everything had a flash strap - and that's where I got mine with a plain cavesson noseband (they do crank or non-crank).Tel: 01638 662330

This is true, and I can highly recommend. Only stainless steel buckles I think though.

I have tried cutting the loop off one noseband but it doesn't look very nice!!! What is it with flash nosebands??? Every horse that's ever ridden suddenly needs a flash??? I use the crank mainly due to the extra padding as my girl is very fine skinned and I certainly don't need to clamp her mouth shut...saddlers are you listening!?

I spent ages looking for a black crank cavesson noseband, and I mean ages!!! Ingatestone saddlery, essex way I think, had a whole row of them, all sizes in black and brown and all the bridles to so it might be worth contacting them?
