Is this bridle tacky?!

Reminds me of this -

Bling dressagey ones more like this -

Neither appeal to the masses, but distinctly quite different!


Glad you decided to go just for the red ;) and he suits the no nose band too :)
 
I like the Zilco stuff - is great for hacking and endurance. Am a traditonlist for other types of riding, but after eight hours in the rain, nothing beats synthetic.

Zilco have a new bling range out for race horses - my endurance pony has a nice black (synthetic) bridle with a lovely blingy browband, which is just perfect for a horse called Diva.

OP I think you bridle is cool - very patriotic!
 
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!

Lol, perfect answer :)
 
It's an endurance bridle so good at what it's designed for! Zilco stuff is nice in general though I don't have any synthetic riding bridles I have lots of driving ones (black). I wouldn't use it for anything competitive (I don't do trec/endurance/games (if they even use them, I only know enduracen for sure)), but if I was looking for a durable lightweight hacking bridle then why not!
 
If you like that sort of thing its fun to have. I've been looking for one that will fit my Clydesdale but not having much luck

Available made to measure from performance equestrian and plas equestrian, the latter on eBay.co.UK
 
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.

Pmsl, if only, handy snack as you then cling onto only the mane during an endurance ride!!

It's ok, if you like it, get it, regardless of what it is. I like plain hunter nosebands on cobs, but blingy browbands that hide a wonky line of colour!

If I start riding again properly, I'll probably get the purple one. Hey, I got purple rug racks today, it's the boy's theme colour! There was a pic recently on the local horsey FB thing of a pink lickit, pink rug racks, walls painted to half in pink. Wicked!

It was sold as cob (carboot sale) but I have a sneaky suspicion it's pony. Ned has quite a small head and it's comfortable for him on the loosest hole.

It'll be the "cob/arab" size - which is like large pony size - same as mine - only just fits F. Don't think zilco even do a pony size!
 
If you like it then get it!

I need more tacky in my life for my horse! :p but seeing as the plan is a bit of everything I can't justify the money on stuff I can't use for everything at the moment!

I'm really having to refrain from pink/sparkly/glitter god help me if I ever buy a mare! I will then NEED all the stuff my friends roll their eyes at!

On the plus side if other people don't like it they won't be "accidentally" borrowing it. :)
 
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?'
