What Bridle Should I Get?

[Zobaby]

I want a new bridle for shows. It has to be black and either be available with a flash or a grackle noseband (need to try him in a grackle to see if he goes better in it). My IDx has quite a chunky head, so nothing too fine or he looks silly. I love the Whitaker ones, but are they really worth the £100+ price tag? Ideally want to spend up to £80 but if they're really as gorgeous as they look, I might stretch my budget!

I feel like a Jumpers employee today, I keep plugging them!

But I have always had Jumpers bridles, and they are lovely and smart! I like the Whitakers too, but have heard some bad things about the leather quality - apparently you only have to use them a couple of times before they look 'old'

Dever bridles are nice, too

Agree withe the jumpers horseline and MT bridles. Wouldnt touch a JW one with a bargepole am afraid!! The old ones were good, I know from a very big stockist of them that they arent englisl leather anymore!!

Really? That's a shame! I'll check out the Jumpers ones. I'm not sure about Mark Todd ones - they look a bit odd to me!

I have just bought a Rhinegold German Leather comfort flash bridle and a Grackle one too, they are the same quality as the Albion ones but half the price tag (about £60 each!)
