Has anyone bought a Premiera bridle? Im after the Premiera "Milano" and was wondering about the quality of the leather, the patent parts especially.

I have the Monaco, which looks like it has similar parts. I found the noseband really small and had to have a longer strap made for the crank. I cut off the flash tab because I hate 'em 
I find the patent noseband pretty thick and therefore inflexible and doesn't sit round the nose nicely, though I guess it might improve with use. I got mine for 'best' so it hasn't seen much use! But I've rolled the noseband up to try and get some bend in it. I'm a pretty poor judge of leather quality other than that I'm afraid but I did think it was nice for the money.

I ended up sending mine back as it didn't suit my girl (she has a small head and it just didn't suit her) ...but, I was gutted at is it was a beautiful bridle! Great leather, nice and soft, though I agree with Floxie in that the crank strap was quite small, and I didn't patricularly like the rolled reins either. Hypostore have an excellent customer service though!! I sent the bridle back (gutted) and they emailed me as soon as they recieved the bridle, and refunded the full amount straight away! I would highly recommend them.

Yep I have one too, I would agree with all that. The bridle seen to come up quite big - apart from the crank noseband which was on the small side. Nice leather.
