Hi does anyone have an FSS bridle? Was looking at the comfort dressage crank bridle on eBay, its advertised as English but wanted to check quality of leather etc x
I bought the crank flash one with padded headpiece about 3 years ago for my TB. Its his everyday bridle and I love it, fits him really well and looks lovely. The only issue Ive had is the half rubber covered dressage reins that came with it have perished but I replaced them last year and bridle still looks fab.
I've had a couple of FSS bridles - they have been good enough quality and have lasted well - the only problem I had was that the noseband strap would slip off the headpiece, so if they haven't improved the design, I would probably get a keeper put on to stop this happening
I bought a comfort one with padding as a cheap stop gap when I got my horse as I didn't have anything and 5 years later it's still going strong. Think it was advertised as german though. Didn't have any issues with the noseband strap slipping either with the noseband that came with it or a drop I use.
I switched the reins to something more practical though for everyday use.
