Double Bridles

[pfarrugia]

My instructor wants me to get a double bridle for schooling the boy in but I have never used or purchased one before.

I found this one on the internet

Does anyone think it is any good? Just looks a bit cheap compared to the others i've been looking at!

Also - what bits do I need to get to go on it?

Thanks in advance for your help x

Woah that is cheap, prob would be ok just might not last very long! you need a bradoon and a weymouth!

that's what i thought but it says it's heritage - i have one of their normal bridles that has lasted me for years! Know the man that owns the tack shop - he prides himself on beating everyones price!!!!

I have a Heritage double, and they are fine. Nothing wrong with the quality of the leather either. The only thing is that the cheek piece aren't that wide, so would suit a finer headed animal better than my lump of a cob!!

Fylde saddlery make beautiful bridles, and will custom to suit. just recieved a show bridlle from them to suit a highland pony and its fantastic. they are well priced too.
