Where can I get a cavesson bridle without flash?

[carrotsareyum]

I feel like i've looked everywhere for a cavesson bridle without flash and no luck! I've found a few but they either are cheap and bad quality or have plain browbands and I would preferably want some detail on the browband (I know I can buy a bridle with a plain browband then replace it but I may as well look for a bridle with a nice browband on!) Would like a black bridle. Anyone have any brand suggestions or any links to some bridles?

Do you have a budget? Kate negus will mix and match you a bridle, I changed my browband to a brass clincher and have the grand prix head piece if I ever want to change noseband. I also splashed out on a diamanté browband too. Wasn't cheap but it still looks brand new after 3 years of not being particularly well looked after

I am lucky because my wife is a fully qualified bridle stitcher by trade having trained over 40 years ago. We buy whatever bridle we want & she removes the loop from the nose band & re-stitches it so it's perfect again. Any saddler should be able to do this for you, if they can't then they are not real saddler.

If you want a quality bridle made to your own requirements & at a reasonable price the Lisa Holmes is brilliant. Contact her on the below website & she should be able to do whatever you want.

Equestrian Clearance have a sale on Stubben bridles at the moment - several of them are cavessons (just been eyeing them up for the youngster )

Like hen's teeth aren't they! I like the CK Equine bridles and I think she can mix and match as well.

I've just purchased (and need to sell...) one!
Take a look on the Shires website at their Adelfia flash bridle. The flash including the fixing loop is fully removable- it was really the only good quality but affordable cavesson I could find and it really is lovely.

Shires do them without a flash.

Like Ivan said, any saddler can take the hoop very easily; I do it quite often and only usually charge about a fiver for it.
