Thoughts on this bridle?

[SatansLittleHelper]

I've been looking for a really soft anatomical bridle for my Connie x Cob boy, he has a very pony looking head so I'm wondering if this would suit him? And how it fares price wise? Can't really afford to spend more than this.

Rex looks lovely.
I can't comment on the bridle I've insufficient knowledge but my Connie type, see avatar, is in a Horsemanship bridle which has full headpiece, full browband, pony cheeks and cob noseband. I had thought that buying 'cob' or 'full' for him might not work but was surprised at the mix of pieces needed.

I would want to check the length of each part to make sure of the fit, particularly the browband, I like the design though, it looks like a cross between the quantum and the barefoot

Have you ever tried keeping plaited leather clean?

Although I don’t have one of their bridles (although the burgundy one is definitely on my wish list!) I have bought a few bits from Stampede over the last couple of years and can say they are super helpful and lovely to deal with if you pop them a message/email. A friend has one of their normal snaffle bridles and says it’s really lovely leather

Omg don't...I use a toothbrush for that purpose but its a bloody nightmare

Stampede are a great company to deal with. Bekki will measure everything for you just ask.

Another vote for the Horsemanship Saddlery bridles

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Thanks guys but I'm scraping to pay for the bridle I've looked at, the Horsemanship Saddlery ones are out of my price range sadly

 

[Meredith]

I only meant to suggest that a bridle that comes in pony, cob etc might not be suitable for all heads. If Stampede will help with measurements it would be great to relieve uncertainty about sizes

I’ve got this. It’s bit chunkier but lovely leather especially after oiling a few times. I would have preferred a slimmer nose and in a perfect world

I've a connie and got a Horsemanship Bridle so I could mix&match sizes

Expert bits also sell bridles and you can choose which size of each bit of bridle… https://expertbits.co.uk/bridles/
