Where to buy bridles with drop nosebands??

[laura_1983]

Does anyone know where i can buy a pony bridle with drop noseband included? Only place i can find them is ebay but even there there isnt many, every catalogue has either cavessons, flashs or grackles and only sell drop nosebands seperately. I want a nice matching bridle!

You can buy some Stubben bridles with drop nosebands - https://www.stubbendirect.co.uk/stubben-bridles-c-46.html?page=1&sort=1a

It's probably easier to buy parts and make one up, eg Jeffries.
Last year I saved up to buy an extra special bridle when I was shopping at Badminton (more than I have ever considered spending) and I couldn't find a nice, workman type bridle with a raised cavesson noseband.

My mare doesn't need a flash yet every bridle I picked up that I liked the look of had one.

The money got spent on other goodies instead!!

Yep think im just gonna have to save up and buy all the parts lol!!

GFS used to do the half headpieces and then you picked the noseband and reins that you wanted. Think it used to end up about £80 for the complete bridle

My local saddler would happily make you one, although I don't know what price range you are looking at. In all honesty, I think you just have to buy a bridle and a seperate noseband.

Kate Negus has lovely stuff

I had my drop from http://www.plasequestrian.co.uk and it is lovely

I have a pony sized jeffries one you can have if you want it. It's too small for my cob and is sitting in the tack room doing nothing. It's actually really nice and has the fancy white stitching on the noseband

Havanah colour

thanks for the offer law but its a whole matching bridle im looking to get, i have a drop just now but had to buy it seperately from the bridle and its slightly different colour, only me that notices lol!
