Crosby
Raised Fancy Stitch Snaffle Bridle
English Bridles
Manufacturer: Crosby
Model: Raised Fancy Stitch Snaffle Bridle
Category: English Bridles
Purchase: Purchased on eBay for about $100 (retails for ~ $179). Crosby is one of the few bridle makers that has a decent sized browband on their oversized bridles.
Likes: The leather quality is great. I cleaned and conditioned before the first use, and the reins were broken in by the end of the ride. The color (sherry) works with both dark brown and reddish tack. The noseband and browband are nice and wide, perfect for the larger head.
Dislikes: Nothing.
Quality: Construction is great. No loose stitching, no problem with the glue after cleaning, a little bit of dye came off on cloth at first cleaning, but it did not discolor stitching.
Summary: Love the bridle! The only bummer is - it is so nice I feel the need to clean it after every use!
