I just bought a Joseph sterling wide nose band bridle from Schneiders. It is gorgeous…the stitching is tiny and lovely and the leather is super–sedgwick, the good stuff. $149.
only wish it had raised front reins but I am super happy for the price.
That Joseph Sterling bridle looks like a really nice one.
I am hit or miss with the SP bridles. They fit super weird (like cob is pony sized, but full is O/S). I dont mind their plymouth elite, wellfleet, or harwich dressage bridles but I hated the harwich figure 8 I got. Super cheap crappy leather.
I like the Americana and Aramas lines if you find them. Nice quality leather.
I really like the Ovation bridles. I have also had great luck with the HDR bridles. I have 2 of them; they have held up so well and look great. There is one brand called DaVinci that makes very pretty dark leather hunter bridles and they are very inexpensive. I have never bought one but have seen them many times in various tack stores. Harmon Kraft Americana bridles are really pretty. The Aramas bridles are beautiful but higher-end and more expensive than the Americana; both brands are by Harmon Kraft.
