Details about English leather bridle + reins havana brown
Tired of cheap leather that cracks and bleeds from the first use? Treat your horse to this bargain old school style english leather bridle:):) Here we have a well used dark havana brown english leather bridle. Delicate raised cavesson with flash attachment, brass buckles and snap clips to attach bit. Sometimes seen this referred to as "training bridle" with the snaps or jumper bridle. This bridle comes with a pair of matching plain reins, quite thin i believe they were at some point curb reins. These have billet hooks and a small silver coloured buckle at the ends, but the overall look matches the bridle very well. The leather on both the bridle and the reins is smooth and supple. It is "well loved" with the aged look leather gets, but no cracking or weak stitching. I have tried out this bridle on my own horse and found it functional and easy to adjust. The browband on this bridle is not the same brand as the bridle, its colour is a bit paler, but it looks quite nice on (see pics) Is blingy with sparkly diamantes that flash in the light. It is well worn and not as secure as it once was but again, functional with no loose parts. This bridle came to me with a flash strap that has seen better days, its buckle is rusting and the leather quite worn and faded, but it still works ok. See the end pictures for more info. I will include this flash strap but imo it needs a replacement to look properly smart. Overall I would say this bridle is a typical traditional style english leather bridle that has seen plenty of use but has a lot of life left in it. Ideal for training young horses, or when the budget is tight, as many say it is perhaps better to buy used good quality leather than some of the cheap stiff imported tack available nowadays. Ive tried to be as descriptive as possible as this is not a new or near new item, but please take a look at the pictures, excuse my sleepy horse she found modelling very boring and kept pinning her ears back. She's not included in the sale (altho you'd soon return her!) This leather has been disinfected, cleaned and treated with rapide leather cream, which has done wonders to nourish and restore it. I have spent some time cleaning up each buckle and hook but they could perhaps use a once over with metal polish.
