Reviews are correct, odd shaped crown piece!
I love the quality and look of this bridle and really wanted to keep it but the shape of the crown piece was too worrisome. I have a TB with good bone but his head tends to fit cob size bridles. After trying the cob size and seeing that the contoured shape of the crown piece badly interfered with the bulge of his ear. I tried the full size and it was much better, but still interfered and really needs to be cut differently to allow space for the ear. Ultimately the rest of the bridle was too big and there is no ability to punch more holes. I can't say if it would have actually bothered his ears, since I didn't ride in it but it just didn't seem right. I'm sure there are horses that this bridle fits and those people are lucky since it is such a nice bridle.

Terrible Quality
The style of this bridle is beautiful and eye catching, but the leather quality is terrible. At this price point, I didn't expect the best, but I also didn't expect the bridle to be wrinkled and cracked looking straight out of the packaging. I have a HDR bridle that was $40 less and is much better quality with soft, supple leather - not the stiff, plastic-like, painted leather of the Ivy bridle I received. This is going straight back, I won't even bother trying it on my horse.

Crownpiece uncomfortably contoured
This bridle claims to be ergonomic but the crownpiece is contoured so that the widest part pokes into the back of the horse’s ear. The horse-sized noseband was also so big on my warmblood that it was still loose on the tightest hole. Nice idea but not good implementation.

Beautiful bridle
Love this but was a hard fit on my horses head. Ordered full and returned for Cobb.

Excellent value
Very pleased to find a good bridle at such a good price. My big horse needs the ergonomic brow band for happy ears and this fits him perfectly. And thanks for doing such a fine job on prompt shipping. Very good buy.

Absolutely love it!
I was gifted this bridle last year and have loved it since. It looks fantastic and fits all my horses great. I am complimented on it frequently. I use it for everything and still looks brand new. It was stiff and a little difficult to break in, but once it was it has been the best bridle I've owned.

Excellent quality!
This is an excellent bridle for the price and most important my mare approves. Its beautiful with the stitching and the crown is nice and wide. It's stiff at first, but with some good leather conditioner it softened up easily. It runs on the large side, my small WB (15.3h) needed a cob size. Its a gorgeous bridle.

Fits perfectly.
My sensitive Thoroughbred loves how this bridle fits, and he's not a fan of most anatomic crowns. It avoids pressure points and looks great. Love it!

Okay, but not great
Am happy with the fit, style and overall bridle. Sizes seem to be proportionate and fits well. Leather quality is TERRIBLE though, for the price I expected it to be decent but not amazing but it is so dry and shiny it almost looks cracked / wrinkled the first time you use it... I'm hoping with some oiling and massaging it in it may soften down, but it doesn't look likely. Will keep it for now and upgrade for the horse I bought it for later.... really wish the leather quality was better though, I had a hard time finding this style and I like it a lot and would pay a little more for better leather.

Terrible leather quality
The leather quality is absolutely terrible I wouldn’t suggest this bridle to anyone. Even after conditioning it it was still terrible quality leather. I ended up selling it for less then half the price I paid for it.
