What does everybody think of the noseband below? I was looking at getting a matching browband. I should mention this is for a chestnut horse :)

Its not to my personal taste, i prefer plainer tack. But, it is definately one of the more tasteful "bling" bridles i've seen, i think it would look nice with a matching browband :)
 
Need to see it on your horse really before I decide, I think it depends on the size and shape of the horse. I personally like a "pretty" browband but I am not sure on both together.:D
 
Thanks everybody! I have been getting the same response from my Facebook friends & most of them are non horsey! The green would suit him being a chestnut but he does have a pretty nog so I dont know if that would maybe be overkill for him.
 
Never seen one with a blingy nose band before, can't imagine it lasting very long though...well if your horse likes to rub his nose sometimes on the stable door etc, be a shame if the stones came out but if it's well made perhaps it should last well.

Hard to tell if it would look nice or tacky unless it was on your horses head, I'd have to say though, it would have to be a very smart and well kept head to pull it off without it looking tacky, I think it would suit a very dark bay/black, not too sure on any other colour though.
 
Search swarovski noseband in ebay and the seller comes up.. if you swap noseband for bridle, they have different patterns & designs! They have a really nice grackle noseband too...

Sorry, for me it's awfull. In my opinion its tacky as a brow or nose band. But, hey we're all different and if you like it then it shouldn't matter what others think.
 
Oooohh Now thats pretty :D I'd try and get it in brown as i dont think black tack suits chestnuts but the green will look lovely! I used to have my chestnuts in green too and think it really suits them.
 
I wouldn't mind the browband only too much but OTT for me to have noseband as well. Mind you when I was a kid you had brown or brown. Will someone please ban those awful white bridles you get in racing. Boring traditionalist here.
 
I really like it, i wouldn't use it on my current horse as he doesn't suit too much bling but i would have used it on my warmblood

I'm with you I do not like that black and white one at all, reminds me of the cheap and nasty stuff the horses used to wear at a riding school I learnt to ride at many moons ago. But as others have said it really dosn't matter what others think everyone has different tastes.
 
I think it's vile. Maybe not so bad in clear diamond, but that looks like something cheap you'd get in Clare's accessories. But heyho, if you like it, get it.:)
 
I'm sure I've seen a picture of Totilas in a crystal browband... maybe it's just my imagination. I didn't think I would like them to be honest but some can actually be quite tasteful! If you like it, go for it!!!

A bit of bling ain't no bad thing. (Sorry :D )
