Its Time to buy a new one and I haven't a clue .................

[SAL66]

i have had my horse now for some time and he came with tack and to be fair at the time it did its job, having schooled him this morning and after taking his bridle off it looked a sorry sight so I really need to buy a new one.
The question is which one, I have briefly looked on ebay and the net and there are hundreds to choose from, TBH I wouldn't know which were good or which one's to avoid.
I ideally would like to spend around £100 which I know isn't alot .

I would really appreciate people input on this as I'm ashamed to say I've never bought a new one before always used what came with the horse, but as we are really progressing I thought its about time to start looking the part a bit more.

Jeffries leather is of a good quality

and around your price range

Sabre are fairly good too

Whatever your choice, make sure you buy english leather

stubben is always good, although the leather can be quite stiff sometimes...

I bought Minstral the Sabre Dortmund (also from Country Supplies) and it's fantastic.

wow, to me £100 is plenty to spend on a new bridle! I always think that jeffries bridles are great in terms of looking the part and quality.

there are some nice sabre and dobert bridles on horsedata.net dobert are fantastic quality!

I just spent £18 on a brand new flash bridle complete with rubber grip reins, id never spend £100 on a bridle personaly!

Another vote for Jefferies - comes up looking very smart. I did have Sabre and it looked shabby and 'used' after about a year - despite being looked after properly.

i brought a Sabre bridle nearly 4 yrs ago for £65 with dressage reins & hunter style nose/brow bands. cant rate it enough really would like to get another

Agree the Jeffries leather is nice.

I am also very pleased with this Barnsby bridle I bought at HOYS

Barnsby bridles are beautiful, sabre can be a bit hit and miss, is either fantatic or crap. Love Jefferies leather work.
