It's for a coloured cob. I can't decide between a red one or a blue one and this seemed a good compromise!
 
Yes, very tacky!

I don't even like patent bridles. And I HATE bling. I like my tack to be traditional and smart.

But whatever floats your boat.
 
I am a traditionalist so not my cup of tea but looks fun and bright It largely depends on what your sport is they seem popular in endurance riding
 
I have one in blue and yellow for one of the ponies :) so I don't think its tacky, I think its practical (its why endurance riders use them!). Certainly not as tacky as V brow bands and crystals in my opinion.
 
I have one in red and it is very useful for hacking etc. I like the idea of that one, but would probably find the white very impractical ;)
 
Hacking is a very pleasurable sport and for hacking as with endurance it is perfectly good if you like colour why not. I was thinking if you were a competitive rider you may find it a bit over the top for things like dressage and eventing
 
I think it's cool :) I like things that's are a bit unusual. I'd be bothered about the white looking grubby after a few uses though, but the blue and red is nice :)

Sizes come up small - I bought this for my old cob (cob size, same as his other bridles) and it nowhere near fits him. Just fits F fortunately.
 
If you like it get it!!!! If all your doing is hacking then you've No rule books to follow so who cares what anyone else thinks x
 
My first reaction... ick

Sorry, I'm a bit of a traditionalist and like plain simple tack in black.

However it's your horse, so you should wear whatever you like :)
 
Your horse, your money, your choice! Wouldn't be my choice but I'm an old lass and I totally defend your right to ride in whatever you like, even if it's pink with yellow spots.

Unless it doesn't fit of course which would be the only time I was interested enough to say anything.

I used to hack out with someone with a penchant for leopard skin jodhs... Each to their own!
 
I like the red! Would look good on a b/w cob.
After many, many years of being very traditional with tack, now one of my bridles is western with red crystals-and I love it! In fact, the English tack now seems boring.
 
I have a blue / white bridle and martingale. Zilco ok, but I found the edge of the padded bit rubbed my girl. Instead got simillar one from pioneer harness, much softer though same kind of material, never rubbed.

I'm from endurance and this is the norm. I only know 1 serious rider who uses leather, as by the end of 40km even because of the crewing it is stiff and rubbing. This material is fab. Bucket of soapy water and it's clean. I've even put one through the washing machine on a cool cycle after a competition, came up lovely.

Pioneer combo:



ps don't give a nats if no one else likes it so don't bother with negative opinions.
