Manufacturer: Dobert
Model: Classic
Category: English Bridles
Purchase: I bought this bridle in Germany when I was stationed there with the military. It cost under $200, believe at the exchange rate it was about $160. When I tried to buy a different noseband back in the states, I was astounded by the mark up. The complete bridle sold for $450 in the US! I purchased the bridle with a "crank" noseband and flash, and wanted to get a plain cavesson for hunter shows. The extra noseband was almost as much as I had paid for the whole bridle!
Likes: I've used this bridle 4-6 times a week for 4 years and it is almost like new, except for the buckle marks by the holes. Even the white leather padding cleans up well. The color (brown) has stayed true. I have the "Warmblood size 1" bridle and this fits the heads of both my WB and my AppQH.
Dislikes: What's there not to like? I would buy another in a heartbeat if the US mark up wasn't so high (more than double).
Quality: The leather and workmanship on this bridle is superb. Imperceptable stitching, leather stays soft (even if I don't clean it for a few days).
