I have just bought one of the Jeffries IR bridles and they are really nice - I really like the curved headpiece and bought it for my sensitive anglo for that reason.

Otherwise I really like Kieffer bridles and Albions are nice as well.

I love my Jeffries IR bridle. I got it for my birthday 6 months ago and it still looks brand new. I love the curved headpiece for my horse's comfort and the buckles on both sides.

I love it!!

I also like Dever bridles, british leather and british made, good quality and good fit.

Morris and Nolan comfort bridle

Had their stuff for a couple of years: despite daughter's neglectful ways her bridle is still supple and looks good, so I'm hoping my comfort bridle will last forever with my good care

. Mine has the funny buckles that are slightly raised, makes for a neat finish m'thinks.

I also love the IR bridle although mine is from Stroud Saddlery, not Jeffries (same bridle though). Really nice and soft and a good shape round the ears. I have also just bought a lovely bridle from Sabre (see NL for a gushing post about their fab customer service

)

Have fun choosing - I love new tack!

I have had my stubben bridle for donkeys years - and it still looks lovely - despite my sister's best attempts to ruin it!

I have also had a kieffer bridle for about 3 years now - and I really love it - lovely leather and always looks very smart.

IF you want a really good bridle that will not stretch and will last try the Passier, they are fantastic and they come with a padded headpiece and reins..... I got mine from a company called Freedomdressage. My friend aslo got one from them and she ordered the wrong size but they exchanged it with no problems.

I am a bridle conioussur (bah can't spell but you know what I mean). I second the Passier. They have a nice range and the bridle is very nice indeed. I also have the Albion KB which is possibly slightly better leather - but only marginally and the Passier beats it hands down on price and fit. The Albion headpiece comes very low down the head making the browband fit low. The Passier headpiece fits better. Both nosebands adjust on both sidces of the head. However, if you have a very chunky horse, the Albion does a chunky noseband which is better than the Passier for chunky heads. For an elegant horse the Passier and the Albion have nice elegent nosebands. Both have nice bling browbands. Last thing - Passier reins are quite short so if you like long reins go for the Albion. I also got both my Passiers from Freedom Dressage and they are very nice and helpful.
