John Whitaker vs. Bobby's English Tack

[jumperturnss]

I’m looking at getting this bridle from John Whitaker:

or this bridle from Bobby’s English Tack:

Which is the better quality?

I have a Bobby’s and really like it. I just got mine as a schooling bridle but it oiled well and I even showed in it on occasion. I believe I got mine in light brown and then used oil.

I’ve had my Bobby’s English Tack for almost 20 years now! I had a black bridle for dressage, but when I switched and got a brown bridle, it was relegated to schooling and trail riding. My mare had a bad habit of dunking her whole head into the water trough on the trail :lol: and the bridle STILL could be cleaned up enough for showing.
