Which bridle?

[MizElz]

Having struck lucky in a radio comp yesterday, I now have £160 to spend...I'd quite like to get Ellie a new bridle for dressage, but I'm not sure which one! I have two Jumpers bridles at the mo and they've done me just fine, but I'd quite like to splash out and get a reaaaaally nice one, with perhaps a padded or even a curved headpiece. I've looked at Kate Negus, whose leatherwork I normally adore, but none of the bridles there overly floats my boat!

I'll be looking for a black cavesson with gold buckles; any advice or ideas greatly appreciated!

Albion bridles are BEAUTIFUL! Not got gold buckles though, but the quality and design mre than makes up for it. Very very highly recommended

Sabre every time for me, but i don't know if they do black/gold. lovely, lovely leatherwork though, and stay that way for donkey's years.

I quite like the Dress Circle one, and I would love to buy an Albion, but if they dont do gold buckles then its a no go!

even my stirrups are gold, so I wouldnt want to go back to silver again.

Thanks for your help everyone!

What about a cliff barnsby bridle, I have one, with stainless steel fittings (which I love), but I know they do gold colour buckles too.

I had a look too at Inchs saddlery- the Passier bridles look lovely (i'm looking for a double bridle for one of my horses at the moment too!)- but the buckles aren't gold.
