What make of grackle bridle?

[nemo_]

I have been searching for a grackle bridle for a while now and can't seem to decide. I'm looking for brown with brass fittings (preferably), to use for showjumping, xc and the occassional workers so ideally without fancy stiching etc, i know that's a being a bit picky! Any one have any suggestions? Good or bad experiences? Quality of leather? ...
Any Help is much appreciated!

pessoa do gorgeous one great quality in a lovely honey, tan colour - £220- but very smart! check out ebay- think £170 on there!

Avoid the Whitaker ones - we had one for a pony we had and went through 3 nosebands as the keepers kept snapping.

OK thanks

, that helps narrow it down a bit, as i was considering a whitaker one! I like the pessoa one but out of my price range

what about the GFS ones?

Havent really looked at those, have heard the leather quality isn't that good?

think the advantage ones are supposed to be good

I love my whitaker one, use it on 2-3 horses daily and its going well so far

also recommend the mark todd ones as these are nice too.

Very nice-was a present

Thanks, have heard many different things about the whitaker ones, good and bad, and so am undecided about those.I like the Mark Todd ones too, but not brass fittings, might have to give up on that...

for workers however it is usually correct to have silver buckles.. the plainer the better.

OK Thanks my pony isn't really a worker type but i sometimes do it locally for a bit of fun and a change. Thanks! that really helps

I absolutely 100% recommend this bridle, I have it for shows and it is always commented on, and their reins are divine
