Sabre V's Albion

[Nic]

Saving up for posh bridles (probably in the very distant future!

)

And am torn between the Sabre Cordoba & the Albion KB (there's about £30 difference in price) and was just looking for opinions on either?

Albionnnnnnnn!

 

[Cheesey2983]

We've got a sabre bridle and its really nice couldnt fault it!

 

[KatB]

ALBION!!!! Lovely quality bridles....

 

[Baileysno1]

I have the sabre cordoba, its lovely although I have to admit I find the sheepskin crank a little fiddly, but apart from that its a gorgeous bridle and has worn very well.

 

[Tempi]

ive got the sabre cordoba and its gorgeous, the softest leather ever

Right so 1 Sabre & 1 Albion bridle then

I have a sabre bridle (just a standard one) and love the leather but saw the Albion in my saddlers & fell in love!

Gah I'm torn!

Sabre, really nice quality.....have three bridles, a jumping saddle and a dressage saddle and can't fault any of them...........

 

[LizzieJ]

I've got both, would probably go for the albion if I bought a third. The padding on the headpiece is softer and overall I think it is slightly better quality. The Sabre comes with a wider choice in nosebands though.

I have a F/S Sabre.But I am going to have to sell it as new ponio is only C/S.

Sabre as it's the only one I've owned. I've just bought a really really lovely soft Sabre but that was because it was very well loved in its previous home!

I've never had an albion or seen one tbh

 

[josie_s]

I personally really like Sabre, I think no matter how much you use it it always cleans up so well

 

[Anniep]

I love my Albion. The quality of the leather is fabulous and, sad I know, but I really enjoy cleaning it. I was able to choose a slightly narrower noseband for mine instead of the standard one which I thought was a bit chunky for my boy.

Albion - Simba (Paper Tiger) has a lovely black one, which looks lovely on him of course - and this season he will be modelling it with his new Devoucoux, also in black....(with matching accessories).

Well, the boy has to look his best!

Seriously though, I do love Albions - they never seem to rub, and the leather is lovely.

Personally I always go for Jeffries, but if I were to choose between Sabre and Albion it would be Albion.

 

[Nic]

I am very jealous!

*cough* would that be the Cordoba (comfort one)?

 

[nomini]

Albion all the way!!

Yep!!It would happen to be that one!

I have an albion KB and an older Sabre bridle. Both are wearing well - the sabre has hardly any wear on it despite it being 6 years old. You can't go wrong with either.

Albion come up very small if my experience is anything to go by. I bought an A XF for my mare and it literally wouldn't go anywhere near her. She is a comfortable XF in Jeffries and Stubben. I have no experience of Sabre's sizing, but they are said to be beautiful quality.
