After a new bridle for my new youngster. Needs to have a drop noseband and a padded headpiece shaped behing the ears. I have an Albion KB, and although nice, I am not impressed with leather quality for price. Love my cheap eBay Evison bridle, but not massively cut away behind ears. Also have an English gaiter company bridle with a fab shaped headpiece, but leather isn't great and they don't do drops. Fussy? Most certainly ;)
 
IMO it doesnt need to be as the outer part which touches the base/bottom part of the ear is extremely soft and padded. I prefer elevator to Albion.
 
Yes, that Dyon one is a little extreme!

Anyone have a flexible fit bridle from link above? Headpiece looks a good shape, but is it good quality?
 
I love my Jefferies IR bridle which is cut back around the ears. I am not sure if you can buy it with a drop noseband. However I have just bought a lovely drop noseband to fit it from Evison Equine. They also do comfort bridles. I tried them as people on here had highly recommended them and I am certainly impressed with the noseband :-)
 
Kis Vihar - you will find her on facebook. Her stuff is amazing. You can have exactly what you want made to exactly your specification. Although she lives in Hungary, she imports English leather for all her bridlework.

I have had loads of things from her and have always been delighted.

Here's Arnie in his drop noseband bridle - made to his exact measurements (she sends you a guide) - padded drop and browband and 3/4" cheek pieces just cos it suits him :D

micklem bridle has cut away padded head piece and a well designed adjustable drop without any extra pressure.

That has a plain headpiece - is it available as a padded cut away headpiece?
 
Yep Zoon - she will do whatever you want. Its all made to your own spec!

She's over just now at HOYS selling her cracking browbands (I have a stunning real turquoise one and a red/orange/yellow millefiori bead one, again, made to his exact measurement) - oh, and I have a martingale with a cute wee "A" embroidered on it :D
 
I looked at Sabre Cordoba and they looked really good quality, Jefferies don't seem to be such quality for price....I don't really know which to get. Also can you wear drop nose bands for dressage? Thanks Lucy
 
I've given up, think I'm going down the route of using a local saddler & getting one m2m! With the cutaway/shaped headpieces, I'm worried they wont be cut right for Dan's ears (I'm looking for one of the curved headpieces, that's almost an 'm' shape, not just cutaway), and generally can't find what I want within a reasonable budget :o So posted on facebook, and found 3 local saddlers up to the job! I'm guessing quotes will vary a tad, but in Jan I'm going to have a nosy at all 3's work if I can & go from there. At least I know it will fit and don't have to worry trying to return things! :)
