Is this bridle tacky?!

I like it! If you compete in the old-school stuff you have to be boring but I reckon that looks fun for hacking and deeply practical. I'm very traditional and still reckon it would be cute.

Like, I'd have a second smart bridle for lessons and comps (unless it was endurance) but would also use that. Are they the ones you bung in the washing machine? Perfect if they are! But red v blue, I'd go for blue on anything that wasn't grey...
 
My zilco's been through the washing machine loads of times and still comes up great. I'm not a fan of the multi-coloured zilco just because the mix of colours is, like, top, middle, bottom, they don't merge right somehow IMHO, but that might just be me. I've got the same as JFTD in the bright blue. :)

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

I think you should sue the charm school!
 
I was all prepared to say tacky, but having seen the red bridle on JFTD's pony, I actually quite like it, hangs head in shame.
 
Sorry saddlsore, I genuinely thought you were joking when I looked at the picture. I assumed you had cobbled it together from lots of other bits of things and were taking the mick (insert sorry I am clearly a numpty face here). I now realise that's not the case but I thought I would let you know my initial response nonetheless seeing as you did ask for opinions! But, that said, if you are not competing and it is safe (I assume it is made out of something other than Haribo?) then go for it I guess.
 
are people really that (not sure how to put it) so stuck in the century previous to the previous one that they haven't seen these before? on endurance horses? so yes they are safe, they are comfortable for the horse to wear, they are great in the rain and they are easy to clean.

jeezo, some of the outfits worn in the show ring make me roll my eyes, I am so glad some disciplines are exploring different fabrics and colours and no, I am not 12 :p
 
I don't like halter bridles so I wouldn't buy it, but OP I'm thinking it could work if you went all matchy matchy and got one of those union jack saddlepads to go with it.
 
Ooh mixed bag! I think I've been partially talked down........

....... To a single colour :-p now I'm back at blue or red? It's for this boy here- he's just being backed :-)

Stunning horse OP. I do agree he would look nice in red. My issue with the bridle that you posted a picture of was that its colours were a bit, errr, busy. One solid colour would look much much nicer in my opinion.
 
I don't like red, white and blue together really (oops, don't like our flag!) but I think if you went matchy it could be ok!
I have a purple one and I think they're awesome :)
(It looks like it's digging in his nose - it's not. He has a lumpy nose)
