Imagine it would be fine - obviously you would love an English handmade super delux version but need must hey ! Have you had a look on the equestrian clearance website they sometimes have some bargins

I ordered that bridle and it wasnt very nice, quite cheap looking, I think you should get a second hand english leather one from ebay, much better quality if you are careful

I love a blingy brow for flat/dressage, India has this one....

If you check the details on this bridle the leather is what they call "imported". For them to be able to make it and sell it this cheaply with reins, it is going to be really cheap and nasty quality. To be honest, if you are on a budget I would buy a used bridle on ebay, a big name, quality leather product, it will last longer, look nicer and be softer than this is likely to be. Stubben bridles, Jefferies, etc, second hand bridles have a low value, but they will undoubtedly be better quality.

Big thumbs up for Heritage Bridles. I got a full size havana for about £40 ish I think and it is gorgeous quality for a very small price. When my leather headcollar broke I also got he Heritage Leather Headcollar and it is fab (cost me £23!!)

What about a second hand english leather one? You can get them off ebay or second hand sections in tack shops.

I would be very careful bout buying robinsons own brand bridles, a few years ago on my old yard a girl had bought one for her horse and it snapped after being waron just a handful of times The leather was very thin with a paice of cardboard running down the middle of it.
I would rather pay a bit more for my bridles and know they can take pressure, have a look on ebay only 4 months ago i got a lovely 2nd hand double bridle hardly used in really good condition with both bits for only £40. Thats the 1st time ive ever bought anything 2nd hand and was very happy with my purchase

What size/colour are you looking for?

I may have an old...but safe and useable one..... you can have....

 

[Pipkin]

I vote for Heriatge bridles...nice english leather, clean up well and good quality...you can get them brand new on ebay for £40

 

[ShowJumperBeckii]

um a black and cob sized but the leather cant be too thick as shes only small
