Top Quality Hunter Bridle....

[Rupert-the-bear]

Can anyone recommend me a top quality hunter bridle suitable for the show ring? Don't like my current one.

Like the look of the Jeffries one, but doesn't look particularly thick noseband :/ Loving the look of Fylde but never had one before, does anyone have one?

Willing to spend up to £100 for one that will last more than half a season!

Thanks in advance

Don't know about bridles to do different horses' faces and the like but Bellbusk saddlery have some lovely ones

I like my Sabre, you can buy all the bits separately and it came to about £80 all together. Had it 4 years and it still comes up smart.

Fylde are good quality and used a lot in the show ring, you can get nosebands of different widths to suit, it should last many years.

Flyde saddlery will make one to your measurements.

Rupert, have a look at Queenbee's thread.

I bought mine from Risley Saddlery - you can then get different sizes mix and match - however, I will say that their bridlework is Morris & Nolan, and if you ring Morris & Nolan they will sell to you direct, and far cheaper

For instance my Cob has a 1 7/8" XF noseband, 1" XF browband and the rest of the bridle is all Full size, 3/4" cheekpieces and 5/8" slip head, reins 3/4" laced and 5/8" plain (for the curb rein), etc.
They were very good and very quick! Think delivery in under 3 days. and beautifully made.

After seeing AA's bridle I ordered a 2 inch noseband from Fyldes. Lush, can't wait to get it on her!

My Fylde noseband arrived a day after ordering and it is beautiful but it looks silly on her. I wanted one bigger than her current one and 'thought' the current one was 1.5 from memory, so ordered the 2 inch. Turns out she is currently in an inch wide and really needs the 1.5

Bummer. Now I have a noseband I need to sell

Jeffries you can mix and match and super quality (nosebands up to 2 inches)
