Derby Originals
Dressage Bridle
English Bridles
Manufacturer: Derby Originals
Model: Dressage Bridle
Category: English Bridles
Purchase: I got this with my dressage saddle from tackwholesale.com's ebay store. It came free with the saddle.
Likes: I like that the flash noseband is removable (although this also means that I lost it!) and that it can go on other bridles and doesn't look awful for a detachable flash.
Dislikes: The leather is a very poor quality, and very stiff. It is not well padded. In fact, it is not padded at all.
Quality: Cheap black leather, very rough and ugly. The bridle is functional for schooling, but looks uncomfortable. It is also quite big---it only comes in full or pony, and I wanted it for my average sized paint mare. I discontinued using it after about a year; it was just not worth it.
Summary: I wouldn't buy one used, and I wouldn't buy another new. It's just not a good bridle. I like that the flash is detachable. But nothing else.
