I would like a new bridle. I have been using a £6 from Decathlon job up 'til now! It's fine, does the job & no sign of it falling apart, but I would like to have something a bit posher for showing this summer. I'm prepared to splash out, but only on something a bit spesh! My RI is a fan of the Barnsby comfort headpiece bridles - might suit P because she can tend to shake her head & waggle her ears when she gets tired. The Elevator also seems very popular. I did a quick Google & the Rhinegold comfort bridle got a few good reviews. Whatever I get, it needs to be available with a drop noseband. Anyone got any suggestions/recommendations?

I've got the Elevator if you want a nosy at it! Saff likes it, I like it :D

I also like THIS (http://www.enlightenedequitation.com/ad_images/maria/photos/CortesiabridleO.jpg) one though it's slightly out of my price range :eek: ;)

I'm hopefully up at the weekend or you can catch E and get her to show you it.

Have just ordered a Sabre Cordoba which is a comfort bridle.

Chose this particular one as they come up quite a bit smaller than most of the other makes.

I have the problem that my boy is either a large pony, in which case a pony bridle is on all the last holes, and a cob size bridle everything is done up on the first hole and we have lots of flappy bits.

Countrysupplies.com have a sale on Sabre stuff at the moment, might be worth checking out!

I didnt like the rhingold one on mine, as it looked very clumsy.

Hope it's not 1.75" cos the measurements in brochure are 1.38":eek:

It'll have to go back if it is!
