"The padded noseband was just what I was looking for, after having other side pulls that left indentations on my horse's nose. Love the looks and the functionality!"

"I bought a billy royal saddle 12 years ago from Schneiders. It is by far the best I have ridden in and have not used another since. I decided to order this side pull since the brand was the same & the quality is unmatched. Thick durable leather & Heavy duty buckles and the ring placement makes for a perfect ride with the right amount of contact."
"This is a great piece of equipment and a nice alternative to bitted headstalls. My horse goes around well in this and it looks really nice and has held up to nearly daily use over the last 9 months. It does run large - I have a 15. 2hh quarter mare and had to make some new holes, cut, and relace the cheek pieces, but it was simple enough to de- and reconstruct. If your horse usually goes in Cob or smaller, I don't know that this would be able to fit that small. This works well with other headstalls under/over it - during training I've been able to put a bitted headstall on with this side pull and switch the reins back and forth as needed to introduce bits."
"Everything i expected and more"
"This is a good quality bridle. The leather is soft. Still working on getting my horse accustomed to it since he was ridden in a bit before but that’s more of a me thing ;)"
"Awesome side pull bridle. Soft and supple but strong looking. My sensitive standardbred loves to go on trail rides now!"
"I like this side pull and the padding of the nose piece should do very well on my more sensitive horses. The side pull appears to be well made and sturdy. It adjusted well to fit and if you have a smaller headed horse a hole punch should be all you need. I would buy it again."
"Great bridle, my horse responds well to it. The leather seems soft to me and padded nose band is very gentle. The brow band unfortunately is too small. I would say it is cob sized not full sized. I took a brow band from a full size bridle and it was at least a couple inches longer. Otherwise, great bridle!"
"Starting my boy Boone has been a JOY. . this high quality side pull and reins setup is very comfortable for him. . and good looking as well. ."
"This is exactly what I wanted. Great quality leather. Soft, supple yet sturdy. Slightly lighter than I wanted but I’m sure it will darken over time."
