Dressage bridle for arab

[rforsyth1984]

Im after a new bridle for Sian. The big chunky ones will drown his arab head, although he's not the daintiest of arabs (crabbet lines - will put pic below).
Can anyone reccomend a suitable bridle - I quite like the look of the stubben flash bridles? And the cheapest place to buy?

both of mine have kieffer flash briddles and jeffries doubles. Keiffers are both over 9 years old and still look like new, never needed repairs. Jeffries are expensive but fit really well, only had one 3 years and the other a year so don't really know about the longevity (sp?).

In my sig hes wearing the kieffer in all the jumping photos and the jeffries in the flat shot.

The cheapest place to buy anything is online (ebay all the way)... my Russian x Polish is 15'2 and very chunky (see pics in my sig). He has a Treadstone rolled flash bridle in Arab size which is too big and a cob Jeffries which is also a bit big (long cheek pieces).

I'm actually going to put him in the Rhinegold comfort bridle after trying my frineds on.... although the noseband is thick and padded, it actually suits him very well (as he has a long blaze it breaks it up a bit). He's always gone well in normal bridles but now we're moving up in dressage I'm getting comments like 'could be more relaxed in head/poll area' so thinking a comfort bridle is the way to go....

Arabs are so sensitive I would be wary of getting anything that is too thin leather as it will only cause pressure points x
