Good quality bridles

[Little Fat Pony]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good quality bridle for every day use, with just a plain cavesson noseband?

At the moment I just have a cheap one from ebay, and the leather has started to peel away, so I'm hoping to buy a good branded bridle this time. l

Also, has anyone bought a second hand bridle before, if so where from? Some of the "big" brands are quite expensive, so I thought I'd look for a well looked after second hand one first.

English Bridles make nice bridles, the leather is so soft

Horse Gossip has a section for tack for sale which is normally always good quality

I have a secondhand Morris and Nolan bridle which I got from an Equestrian car boot sale, its a beautiful bridle

Sabre are very good quality but have to say, the best leather quality I have ever come across in a bridle is my premiera bridle. Buttery soft from day one. Have had it about 4 months now and still looks like new.

Ooh they do look nice. I've never heard of them before, where can you buy them? The link I've found is an american site

Jeffries are a very good make, I bought mine over 7 years ago for £120 and its still like new, would definately buy another one

I got my premiera bridle from hypo store which is abroad but postage was very reasonable and delivery was extremely quick!

I wouldn't buy anything other than Jefferies, my bridle still looks fantastic after 15 years of heavy use!

Thanks rowy.


Hmm, there is too much choice around. I'm totally confused

I'll have a look at jeffries, I've heard that they are lovely, but not as good as they used to be. I might try and go a horsey shop to see some of them in the flesh, and decide from there.

Thanks for all your suggestions

Oh, has anyone got a Stubben (don't know if thats spelt right ) bridle, they seem to have good reviews too
