Very pretty bridle
Beautiful bridle, quality leather but wish it came a little softer but after a couple oilings it was much better. Haven’t had it long so can’t review durability but seems to be tough leather

Nice bridle!
I bought this for my OTTB as we are moving to Jumpers. She can get a little gape-y sometimes so I was interested in either a figure 8 or a flash. After doing a bunch of reading, I decided on the figure 8. This bridle has been super, it looks nice, seems to be comfortable for my mare, and is easy to care for. I really like the mono crown and the padding. I did swap out the browband for a fancy one because why not! I haven’t had rubber reins in a long time but I like the ones this bridle came with!

Beautiful
Absolutely lovely bridle at a reasonable price. The leather is soft and the stitching is beautiful.

This bridle is fantastic! the brow band is very supple, and after breaking in and cleaning, so is the rest of the bridle. Many people have complemented and commented on this bridle, i am very happy with it, and i would definitely recommend!

sorry not a fan
Bridle seems to run small.. a cob normally fits my OTTB, but this one is too small. Received as a gift so no way to return, The color is odd. I could darken with oil.

Really Disappointed
I bought this bridle about two weeks ago and rode in it about 10 times.
When I got it out of the box it seemed okay, the monocrown was nice, I really liked the padding, but the leather was horrible quality, had a plastic shiny look to it. When I looked at the rings at the top of the noseband connecting pieces it already had discoloration on the metal, that I couldn't get off. The sheepskin was also horribly uneven. The buckles looked very nice and the reins did come with rein stops on them, which is a plus.
After riding in it 4 times the leather was already cracking and showing a lot of discoloration and the stitching was already coming undone.
I'm really disappointed in the quality and execution of this bridle, I usually love Smartpak bridles but this bridle has really turned me off from them.
I guess you get what you pay for, next time definitely going to have to invest in a much more expensive french one.

Pretty good bridle
I bought this a little while ago and ordered cob as most of the reviews said it runs large. Cob fit my 15hh lease horse. Pretty good quality but took a while for me to break in and was pretty red-brown. Oiled it a lot, but now I need to sell it as it won’t fit my 16.3hh new lease horse. Nicely padded, but get horse size and darken it if you want to buy it.

I didn't even take it out of the bag. The " red " leather from India was a turn off. Indian leather is ok for about a year then it just doesn't hold up beyond that.

Poor quality
Not the quality I expected. The leather is so stiff I can't even get the straps in the keepers. Very disappointed.

Bang for your buck
I bought this because I needed something to school in but not overly priced as am very happy I chose this. The quality of the leather seems to fit with the value of the product. I got a cob size for my OTTB which fit him perfectly. I have never been able to fit a horse sized bridle on him. There are many places to adjust to make it fit which I can appreciate. The sheepskin is easy to clean off after use. Also the reins are very nice as well.
