please recommend me very dark brown bridles

[ghostie]

I've just got a new saddle for my lovely new connie, and he needs a bridle to go with it and I'm really struggling!

It is very dark brown, and I can't find a bridle that is dark enough brown, whilst still being a nice bridle. I just want a cavesson bridle, nothing complicated!

The saddle is from the Native Pony Saddle Company if anyone else happens to have one and has managed to find a matching bridle.

Suggestions very gratefully received.

Thank you

Comfort saddles or native pony do tack. Otherwise sabre

unfortunately the Native Pony bridle only comes in a very plain hunter, and I think he needs something a bit less chunky as he's got quite a fine head.

I shall investigate comfort, thank you.

Does anyone know if Albion or Eleavator bridles are very dark brown? Hard to tell looking at pics online!

I think Stubben do a 'chocolate' colour that is pretty dark. I can only find too dark ones normally as I prefer a proper browny colour

I have an Albion bridle (and used to have an albion saddle too) - I would say that they are a good dark brown - I originally wanted black tack but the saddle fitted and the saddler's line was "it's not far off!" They also get a bit darker when they've been used / cleaned. Gorgeous leather too.

if you dont get a bridle dark enough, get a plain havanna one and oil it quite a few times!

(works for me)

My Albion KB is a lovely dark brown, matches my Ideal saddle and Albion saddle both are dark! It's really nice and soft, the padding feels like a ridiculously expensive handbag!
