Hi

I need to purchase a new bridle and was looking at the Frank Baines Converter Snaffle. Been looking at the Comfort Bridles and there appears to be two different types Ones that have the fully enclosed comfort headstall these ones have the noseband actually attached on both sides that do up with a buckle on both sides and the top of the headstall is just one piece.

The other type are the ones that have the noseband that threads over the top of the padded headstall with one buckle on the side.

Is that the only difference ?

The other thing is that I wanted to purchase one of the Rope Nosebands either the JW one or one of these http://rjpolo.com/bridles10.html
Do you know if you can replace the noseband with any "normal" noseband and just thread it through the top of the comfort headstall. Obviously this will only be possible with the bridles where the noseband goes over the top of the headstall or you would have to buy a noseband that had a buckle on both sides to fit the fully enclosed comfort ones.

Hi - Many thanks for the reply - i know it might have been a silly question, I did not realise that if you wanted to swop the nosebands you now have to be careful which one you choose depending on your bridle, full comfort or strap over head....

Cheers
