How many bridles does your horse have?

I have a black one to go with my dressage saddle and extra reins and bit for doubling as a show bridle, one brown one to go with the GP saddle, one for taking out to the paddock when she gets bolshy and one with a chifney for the (now very, very occasional) loading issue
 
Cheapie one that I got as a stopgap when I first bought her. However, the leather came up so beautiful and soft with Oz's leather conditioner that I've never got rid of it. I use it for hacking, so have a kimblewick on it because the brakes can be a little unreliable when she's enjoying herself. It doesn't have a noseband, so l'll also pop it over her cavesson for lunging if I want her to have a bit in for any reason, but will usually switch the bit for her schooling bit.

Orion bridle from Horsemanship Saddlery for schooling, dressage, etc., with a Bomber happy tongue snaffle.

And I got a little bit lockdown crazy on ebay a couple of weeks back, so she now also has a ridiculous driving bridle covered in bling. In a haze of alcohol, I justified the purchase as being for long reining and, to be fair, she is much more forward long reining in it! She'll never make a driving horse, so it's actually a complete waste of space, but it's pretty.
 
Three everyday pair of slippers, competition snaffle and a double. All made up myself from various bits n pieces as pony is between sizes so I can never buy off the peg
 
A shameful amount - 4 for one pony
Posh black one that was for comps but has been used everyday because it’s so nice. Cavesson for shows. Cheapie for lunging and a bitless which has so much mould on it, it might start walking off.
