Elevator Bridles

[AmyMay]

Thinking about buying an Elevator Bridle, and have heardy really great things about them.

Any views anyone?????

There are alot better value for money and better quality bridles of similar designs out there IMO!!

 

[AmyMay]

Really KB - which ones are you thinking about?

Really like the Albion bridles because they are gorgeous leather! Also, Stroud saddlery do ones made to measure with the cut away design, and the leather is divine. Ring them, they are very helpful! they make them in house!!

Can't rate them highly enough! I had the Albion before the Elevator and much prefer the Elevator, the design of the Elevator is what really sets it apart as it is cut back behind the ears. It is also much less chunky. The only thing I prefered with the Albion was the non- crank noseband. I found no difference in leather quality between the two either. They are much of a much on price

We do a very similar bridle to the elevator and just as soft and cut back

I can do these with either crank flash, normal flash or cavesson.

That looks like a Heritage Comfort bridle and I agree the quality of them is very good, just need to watch the sizing as they come up rather large.

I have a real elevator for one horse who is a sensitive flower. She is much happier and more relaxed in it, no question. The leather is lovely and soft, very nice quality. I bought a Heritage Comfort bridle for my new horse (very very much cheaper) and am really pleased with that too. Seems excellent quality. Mare still rides like a plank of wood, but thats not a reflection on the bridle!

I was looking for a new bridle at badders, and really fancied an elevator, but EVERYTHING had a flash on it- why???? I ended up buying a shaped padded headpiece, where the noseband goes over the top, from Pointings saddlery, which I'm using with my existing stubben bridle- it's fab! They make all sorts of different bridles, and the quality is amazing- although the elevators I saw were also lovely.

Ive got an elevator and a sabre cordoba - i prefer the sabre over the elevator to be honest and they were roughly the same price.

 

[Troggy]

I can recommend the Heritage comfort bridle, good price too, mine was £43 inc reins and postage! Very good quality and a good fit

I have an elevator bridle. Flat browband and noseband. Don't like padded type too much. Just ask elevator people and they will provide whatever you want. My bridle was a mix of sizes too as my horse was between a cob and full size. It is really good. Just got the flash noseband for my new horse

My Elevator is the best bridle I have ever owned.

I don't know about anyone else but I find it so much easier to clean for some reason??

It looks great all of the time. My old bridles always looked skanky if I didn't clean them regularly enough.

Don't they have a throatlash?

 

[air78]

No- not on the doubles

I have a Rhinegold comfort snaffle (bought from Molineux) they are priced at around 69.99 its the nicest bridle i have ever had. Plus Snoopals loves it and is far happier in it than a standard bridle.

I use a Stubben poll pad:

Fab piece of kit as you can use it on all your bridles.

The only thing that puts me off the elevator bridle is the round buckles everwhere, they somehow don't suit my horse. The new passier bridles are ok and quite cheap and they come in loads of different styles!
