JW3 Whitaker Bridle anybody?

[Mrs_Wishkabibble]

Has anybody got one of these and if so what I want to know is if the brass buckles tone down a bit with use?
I have bought one and I like the bridle but my mare looks a bit like a police horse with all those brass buckles over it.
Wouldnt want somebody waving banners or football rattles at us mistaking us for a police horse!

LOL, yes but so has Mr.Stubben and he's foreign!

Come on, somebody must know the answer - please!

Yes, they do look a bit shiny and dare I say 'tacky' at first but the brass (effect) does tone down and look nice after a while. My daughter always had Whitaker bridles on the ponies but I find Stubben and Albion better for the horses.

Yes, "tacky" is the right word.

It is a nice bridle but it looks "tacky" all shiny brass buckles. It's now sat in my tack room and I used my older one at the show today instead. Not the idea really! How can I tone them down a bit?

use it and get it dirty!!

when you clean it rub your tack cleaner over the buckles too - not ideal but if you really dont like how bright they are....
