Should I buy or.... not? Bridle.

[ever_hopeful]

I'm actually looking a used Stubben 1085 wide crank dressage bridle, but without success so far.

Have seen this on eBay:

Stubben bridle

And wondered about the price? I don't really need a double but could store the reins and slip-head away, or sell them on.

Dunno what to do. Should I wait, or is this one on eBay worth a go?

I know what you mean, they are luuuuurvely bridles!!!

You could get a brand new 1085 for that price -

Mmmmm.... tempting. And I saw that site, but if I'm buying new one I want one in black with white contrast; and they don't offer that option as far as I can see

 

[Roody2]

Do they do it in black with white piping? I've only ever seen the 1085 in black or brown...

 

[ever_hopeful]

Okay, decision made! Just telephoned TDS and theycan supply the black with white for the same online price. Me happy! Many thanks

Ooooh, now don't you do that to me!!! LOL.

Not now I've ordered it from TDS.

I can't get the fs-saddlery website to work. Keeps coming up with Cookies error but that's not the case. Have 'Allowed' the site, cleared the cashe and even rebooted. Site still wont let me add the bridle to my basket. I wanted to find out if the reins were actually extra. The blurb mentions reins, but the drop down menu adds £30+ for which ever set you select. Even the plain leather or continental web ones.

Here's hoping the reins ARE extra 'cos that makes these bridles slightly dearer than TDS. Phew

PS: No one post to inform me otherwise, either!!!! Ignorance is bliss IMO

I've got a new full size black and white stubben bridle with reins I was about to ebay if anyone's interested......?

 

[Spyda]

I bought one from the TDS site last week. They are ordering it in. It's to go with the Stubben saddle I won on eBay

Ooooh, now I'll have to PM to find out more about this other one. LOL

If it's a wide crank dressage bridle.......
