For TB people
I have a dainty faced TB mare who can be hard to size and the cob size fits quite nicely. The leather is good for the price and I'm overall happy with the fit and look. The reins that come with are short, I don't mind, but if you like a longer rein fair warning.

Decent Bridle for the Price
I bought this bridle for my new young event horse. As always SmartPak had it delivered very quickly. He does not have a designated jumping and dressage bridle yet, and on his dark bay coat, this bridle is attractive and works well for both dressage and jumping for him. The fit is a little odd. He has a normal cob/TB head. However the cob size is odd to adjust the nose band to fit him correctly, it seemed a bit small, and the check pieces seemed a bit large. The leather is not the highest quality and seemed to stretch on the nose band after a couple of uses (which ended up working out to my advantage). Overall, I think this bridle will server it's purpose while he competes at the lower levels, and for his every day training. I am hopefully it will hold up for a couple of years.

Awesome bridle, awesome price!
I bought this bridle for my 17hh, big bodied warmblood! I was nervous that the horse size would be a bit too small or tight, but the fit was just right! i found that the quality of this bridle is good enough for me to use it at the A rated shows I go too, or even as a schooling bridle (I personally use it for shows). I also love the price and the fact that the reins are included (The reins are cheap and flimsy either). I've used both Antares and CWD bridles on my guy, but I really really like this one!

Disappointing
I've used this bridle once so far (I've ordered a replacement nose piece that will hopefully resolve one issue that has kept it out of rotation). Upon unpacking, I was disappointed by a large patch of glue on the inside of one rein -- which has refused to budge despite several applications of soap and even oil -- and slight scuff on another. I found a loose bit of waxed thread poking out of the back of the nose piece as well.
The bridle is very adjustable, but the nose piece doesn't seem to want to stay put, quite likely due to the atypical proportions of my horse's face.
The leather itself is a good quality for the price point, but the glue and fit issues are definitely bothersome. I'm not sure I'll be keeping it.

Nice bridle ar a great price
I have an OTTB who is 17.1hh. I needed a figure 8 nose and and found a whole bridle for the same cost as the noseband! Seems like decent quality for the price but it's not super high end. It fits my horse and he has a large head. The color is quite fetching if you like the darker Havana brown like me. I've only used it a couple of times so I dont know how well it will hold up long term yet.
