Hi, I am looking to buy my horse a nice 'best' bridle- decent quality, to last. I have had Sabre bridles in the past but wondered what other makes people would recommend. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance x
Recommendations for 'best' bridle please

Depends how much you want to spend. I have just bought my horse the Jeffries Premier headstall padded bridle with crank noseband. The leather is top quality and it should last years. I also have the Elevator padded bridle for my mare and they are both quality bridles.

Thank you! Would spend around £200ish for a nice one x

I bought my tb a jeffries falcon bridle mainly because it's quite fine so suits his delicate face!! Was expecting to spend a couple of hundred but this was about half of that!! It's a nice bridle actually but now I wish I'd gone for something with a padded headpiece. Thinking of getting an elevator for my other boy.

Elevator. Leather is as soft as butter. It's padded and shaped beautifully and personally, I wouldn't buy anything else.

Thanks! Do you think a padded headpiece makes a big difference to the horse?

I got mine from my local saddlery but they do sell on EBay so you can have a look, just tap in Jeffries bridles. They are an outlet called Equiflair and the price of this bridle and the Elevator are within the amount you mention. If you choose to order from them I have been to the shop (its where mine came from) so they do exist. You may want to see one in real life though as you may want to check it fits with your horses head size etc. Nice bridle, Im very happy with it and my Elevator.

Yes most definitely with my 2. The Jeffries one has a cut away shape round the base of the ears which is to alleviate pressure on that delicate part of the head.

I had mine made to measure for my horse from my local saddler THis means that all the buckles line up and I could have the noseband the width I wanted... definitely worth a thought...

Blitznbobs- I see you're in Cheshire too- do you mind me asking which saddler you used? x
