Reviews
Great Bridle with minimal issues
"It's almost perfect for a very petite-headed Arabian. The nose band with the crank is a little bit bulky and had to be modified but otherwise very nice Bridle for the money"
10 years old and still like new!
"I bought this bridle about 10 years ago. I clean my bridle often, not after every ride but definitely when it gets wet from sweat. It's still in excellent condition and I plan to buy another one for a different horse. The leather quality is top notch and I hope the new ones are of the same great quality. I should easily get another 10 years out of this bridle."
Attractive bridle
"Purchased the cob size for a smaller Arabian. Most of the settings are on the top hole which results in a lot of bulky extra straps. The leather appears to be high quality"
Appreciate ""petite"" for my Arabian
"I am starting to do some dressage so was looking for a dressage bridle that would be good for my Arabian. I bought this because of the narrower brow band and caveson and the price was good for my budget. It looks great on my cute grey Arabian. Leather seems a nice quality and will soften some more as I use and clean/condition. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that all the leather strapping does seem to be a bit long considering it is meant to be for a ""petite"" in cob size. We are not on the last hole on any of the buckles, but as the leather softens and he loses his winter hair, we might need to tighten a bit more. And my horse is not an extremely petite Arabian. But it still fits and I didn't think a pony size would be better. It seems a bit tight under his ears where the brow band attaches, but not too tight and I expect to get the extra bit of space I would prefer as I use and condition the leather and he loses his thick winter coat. Can't wait until spring to see him all fancied up for our first competition!"
Petite dressage bridle
"This is the best dressage bridle for horse it fits her to a tee. Other people tell me how nice and elegant she looks in it."
Beautiful bridle
"I had looked at this bridle for a year before purchasing it. I have a large Arabian with a tiny muzzle and large forehead. The bridle was beautiful on him but it pinched him around the ears. I thought the leather was soft and lovely. Reluctantly I had to return it because of the fit, but I would highly recommend it for another horse."
Excellent Bridle
"This bridle compliments the fine features of my Thoroughbred's head. The crown design is gentle on her sensitive poll. I like the option that the flash can be removed and the loop entirely hidden. This is a beautiful quality bridle, made of supple leather, which I look forward to using for both schooling and competition for many years."
Great for Quarter horses
"After pouring over review after review hoping to find a dressage bridle that would fit my Quarter Horse mare I chose the cob size version of the petite and bought a full-sized browband and it fits perfectly. It also accentuates her delicate face to perfection. The caveson which has been the hardest part of finding a bridle is small enough to fit her properly, but the entire bridle will expand to fit my big heavy-boned Morgan and my daughter's Appaloosa. After one a run with leather conditioner, it is butter soft and feels like it will last a lifetime."
Lovely on my petite Thoroughbred!
"I have used this bridle on my mare ten times now. With a good leather conditioner, it is softening nicely. I love the removable flash. The thickness of the leather does not overwhelm my horse's petite face. The extra padding under the jaw seemed excessive and intimidating at first, but now I love it! It has a very soft thick pad that adds to the comfort. She has stopped chewing on her bit since switching to this bridle. The Cob size still seems to run large. My 15. 1 thoroughbred wears this to the last holes."
