zilco bridles do any of you use them

[donablue]

i have just purchased a second hand one looks pretty good seems a good idea of changing it around from a head collar to a bridle..
whats your views on them?

I use Zilco bridles for both my horses - love them! And makes tack cleaning very easy. Most endurance folk use Zilco or similar bridles as they're much better than leather for what we do.

I have 2 Zilco bridles - one of the headcollar changey type ones and one of my myler combi bit and i love them!

There is nothing worse then slimey leather on / after an endurance ride!

They also come in black so can look more traditional if you want them to.

Zilco bridles are great - so easy to clean and so convenient. I've had three. Brilliant for endurance, and for anyone who likes to colour-coordinate their tack!

Zilco are more well known for their racing tack. Most of the all-weather racehorses would be wearing a Zilco bridle - we've got ourselves a red one, a blue one, and a red/blue one. Dip them in water and they're clean.

Brilliant bridles - just perfect for hacking in nasty rainy muddy conditions - that is most of the time up here in the Highlands. I think they look pretty cool too, I have green and white with reins to match and they seem perfect with my hackamore. Just rinse under the tap when you get back from your ride. I wish they did saddles too.

I've got the combi bridle with matching breatplate and I love it! Use that for my myler combination bit and my leather bridle for my comfort snaffle, I judge which bit to use based on the behaviour coming in from the field!

My Zilco is 4 years old and quite heavily used (the behaviour is often lively!) and it looks good as new, the breatplate is also 4 years old, she always wears it and it doesn't have a mark on it, I chuck them in the water bucket whenever she's getting a bath and that's them clean...my leather brdiel on the other hand just get's left dirty

Zilco stuff is great, but word of warning, those little clips on the bit hangers are very easy to get clipped onto your haynet after the ride...
