Is this bridle tacky?!

[mandwhy]

Mine too! You know what's really good about hacking? You can put your horse in whatever floats your boat, as long as it fits properly and is well and safely made!

Exactly! I like it although would prefer one solid colour. I am thinking of getting one for my haflinger for hacking, she has to be bridled specially and these are ideal, plus easy to look after.

Thanks, I thought so too, he does like a bit of blue

 

[saddlesore]

It's important to have some colour in your life can't wait for mine to arrive!

Not sure about the saddle but they did make those red leather riding boots for a while....

When Wintecs first came out you could buy them in all sorts of strange colours!

Yes they did, but I'd want leather. I like luxury with my 'tackiness'.

I've got a green suede seat on my Freeform - it's a lovely colour, I love it.
Can't really see it when you're sitting in the saddle though, in fact it's less noticeable than the two-tone brown of my dressage saddle. So the 'traditional' saddle stands out more - funny that.....

 

[[59851]]

Yes, very tacky. The only people I have seen with these around my way is the road racers with trotters in sulkys.....

 

[saddlesore]

It's okay Maisie06, I've moved on to a self coloured one it's an endurance bridle, it's actually a GB colours one!

 

[saddlesore]

Ps this thread has been rather cathartic for me 'My name is saddlesore and I'm a colour enthusiast'

 

[LessThanPerfect]

I like the endurance stuff, and as far as I am concerned, when you are on the road, the more you are noticed, the better! I got myself a coloured body protector made for that same reason-- get myself seen!

Besides, your horse, your bridle, your money. If you like it, blow what anyone else thinks

I've got a webbing synthetic bridle as I'm too precious about my stubben to use it in wet/muddy/looking like rain conditions and I love it.it's 5 years old now and if it gets wet or dirty it's just shoved in the washing machine. It is black, like JFTD's red bridle though.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

I actually am tempted to go for one of these, I hack in an expensive bridle and I think my lack of time for looking after it might kill it early, so I might save that one for comps and get one of these for every day. Got a birthday coming up too

Now, which colour on this one, red, blue? What colours are there?'

Think he'd look nice in a dark/ racing green

 

[happyclappy]

it was the multi colours i did not like, a one colour bridle, whatever colour, is fine - again, just my personal opinion. good job we all like different things, how boring life would be if we all liked the same.

I feel that EstherYoung's rainbow bridle needs to make an appearance on this thread.

Brilliant ! That boy is so handsome, he'd look good in any thing.

 

[SteadyNeddy1070]

Afraid so in my book! But whatever floats your boat LOL

 

[Hippona]

If you're gonna get the red white n blue one then you simply must have a union Jack saddle pad to match

I fear I may have drunk too much last night....Felix's rainbow bridle looks very appealing

 

[diamonddogs]

Love Felix's training gear

 

[Noodlebug]

VERY

End of the day if you like it, who cares ?

 

[saddlesore]

Resurrecting this thread with photos- colour haters avert your eyes!

 

[sandi_84]

Oh wow! Mega red!
Missed this thread the first time round and although I'm usually a fan of more traditional tack (and I was a little at the multi-coloured bridle!) I actually think this rather suits your lovely cob

 

[saddlesore]

Thanks yes you wouldn't miss us on a dull day!

 

[Gloi]

Yep it's tacky but at least nobody will want to steal it.

 

[saddlesore]

I added new pics Gloi- went for plain red

 

[Baois Glas]

The red looks great I'm a fan of colour, and the biothane and beta bridles are so much easier to look after. I used to have all purple tack, but toned it down a bit now and have tan.

 

[saddlesore]

At 34 I sometines wonder if I should do the same, but I figure my love of colour keeps me young ha ha!

 

[Baois Glas]

My purple tack just didn't look right with my tan saddle, so I've gone a bit more westerny now and have tan with a spanish knot browband and conchos, young Connie has brown and tan with lots of paracord knotting and V browband with conchos.

Nothing wrong with wanting to add a bit of colour to your life

Lovely little cob; his/ her expression in the 2nd pic says it all ...
