Hi,

I did another post about passier vs elevator bridles and only got responses on elevator bridles. I already have an elevator for my mare and it is lovely, really soft! However, I wanted a different bridle for my youngster preferably.
I have seen the passier scorpius and love it! however was just wondering how soft and supple the leather was and how soft the padding is compared to the elevator. Also do the sizes come up small? My horse is only 15hh 3 year old atm but he doesn't fit into my mares cob size noseband and browband at all so was wondering if i should get full.

Any advice or experiences would be great :)
 
Holy cow!

Sorry just googled, saw the price and almost fell off my chair. Very nice though, maybe when I win the lottery and will buy my new string of imported Oldenburgs a set of these... :D

*goes to buy lottery ticket*

p.s. excuse lack of advice OP :)
 
lol i'm looking at the one which is £200 and less lol! Not the £600 one. haha i wish!!!
It is for my youngster who i'm hoping to get to a really high level in dressage with and have saved up my money for a nice one to last :)
 
Well in that case, he will look very dapper indeed! I approve :D

(Going on looks only ;))
 
If I were you I would buy a cheaper type first, maybe Heritage, as youngsters usually rub sweaty noses up doors etc, it will ruin you posh bridle. I have an Eli for my comp horse, he has had to wait till he is trustworthy before he could have a posh noseband tho, as he rubbed the brand new Eli one and dug a groove in it the first day he had it as a four yr old! His posh one was v expensive as made to measure from Horsesense. I would have cried if he had wrecked that one.
 
Thanks, You saying that then, i may get it and keep it for comps the first year and then use it when i think he's responsible enough :P He's had just an odd mismatchy one for this year when i backed him so may just get a cheap comfort type one!

very sensible :)
 
from experience, the rolled mega ££££ Passiers come up big, but the normal range comes up bang on.mums horse is a standard average full and the Passier full (one you are looking at i think)fits perfectly. throatlash is longer than average though, which is fine on Bru as he is chunky with big cheeks, but would swamp my delicate TB.
