What make bridles do you use with brown Bates saddles?

[nikCscott]

I'm thinking of buying a brown Bates gp saddle for new pony but the colour isn't really havana- so wondered if any of you had bridles which matched the colour and where they were from?

Thank you

I was at a local show & saw a bridle for sale the same Brown colour as the daughters Bates saddle. It was a cheap as chips one (£20) so snatched their hands off! No idea what make it is but it has a tag thing on the nearside of browband which is yellow with a red letter N in it.

The shires salisbury range match my brown bates, they come in pony, cob and full and are available in cavasson, flash and grackle. They also do a matching martingale, breastplate, girth and headcollar. They are really nice leather and not expensive either.

My Stubben havana was a great match for my bates saddle once it had been saddle soaped a bit. (It looked quite orangey when brand new but it toned down in no time)

Did you find a pony then??

Stubben Havana matches perfectly! Was the only bridle that was reddy brown enough to match when i was looking. Have also got a Whitaker Breastplate in Oakbark thats a good match though and they do bridles in that colour.

My Shires salisbury is a perfect match!
