"Not only does this bridle rate with the outstanding quality and performance of my Antares Saddle, but it is the most beautiful bridle I've ever owned. My Edgewood is now second. The Antares is modern yet classic & chic in design. It simply looks great on all my horses and is durable enough to double as an everyday schooler (I know it's $$$) and still look like a gem at the rated shows. Buy the best, use the best, LOVE the BEST, LOOK the BEST!"

"I got this for Christmas for my 17.1hh Warmblood and it fits him great and look amazing! He looks striking and gets tons of complements on it! The leather is wonderfully made and so soft with just a couple times conditioning it! I feel this bridle will hold up for years and I would buy another one in a heart beat! Even for the price! So worth it!!"

"I purchased this bridle in horse size, as my mare normally wears horse size bridles. This was a funny fit on her though. the crown piece and brow band fit perfectly, but the nose band and cheek pieces were too long. I can't say enough about the quality and craftsmanship of this bridle though. It is gorgeous, with calfskin padding, perfect stitching and extremely soft right out of the box. If you are looking for a high end show bridle, I highly recommend it. I think the well padded monocrown may overwhelm more refined heads, though."

"LOVE LOVE LOVE this bridle! The craftsmanship is beautiful, the leather is high quality and the stitching is perfect. I just cannot say enough good things about it! My horse loves it; the mono-crown can be a pain when it comes to cleaning and oiling the noseband but it’s such a nice bridle I am NOT complaining. It matches my other Antares pieces beautifully and gets compliments wherever I go!"

Sure it was a pain to re oil it but I mean common ITS ANTARES!! don't settle for less!"

"Though I did not get this bridle from smartpak ( actually got it on sale at another tack store ) I am absolutly satisfied. Very soft right out of the box. I have oiled it once making it even softer, I am waiting to do a second coat and I imagine the reins will just melt in my hands after that. Beautiful!"

"WOW! is all I have to say about this puppy! Its gorgeous and it only gets better with the Antares oil and conditioner. My new Oldenburg loves this bridle He fights me to take it off! At first we were worried because he has a teeny head, even though he is almost 18 H! I blindly ordered an oversize not realizing my full Vespucci was too big. I almost sent this beauty back with out trying it on him. luckily I tried it on him on a whim, and since he has a long but narrow head it fit perfect! I love that the comfort crown still incorporates a movable nose band and I'm so happy I didn't have to return it! one could go crazy after seeing the Eden of bridles and then having to give it back!! :) This is the best bridle available, and although I haven't shown in it yet, when I do I cant wait to hear all the guaranteed compliments! Thanks SmartPack!"

"I absolutely love this bridle, the details are amazing and the leather quality is superb. I have had other Antares products before and they never disappoint. The only problem I have had is the fit. My horse has a little bit of a TB head, even though he is a Polish Warmblood so getting things to fit him is a bit of a challenge. He is big in some places and then very dainty in others. The headstall and browband area fits great, but in the length of the cheekpieces and the noseband it is a little big. Luckily, it has not stretched hardly at all (maybe one hole, MAYBE) so at least that's good. The European sizing always seems to run a little large to me (my Cob size Antares figure-8 bridle fit my old Dutch Warmblood...) but who knows, it could just be my horse. It is still a wonderful bridle and I highly recommend Antares products for their high level of quality."

"I just purchased the Antares jumping saddle and wanted a matching bridle for shows. I orderd this bridle with the Edwardian Script of my initials on the crown piece. This bridle is stunning and it will look even better after I add the recommended two coats of oil. The padding is well made and I am sure it will be comfortable for my horse. Love Antares leather. It is top of the class."

"Every year at HITS I drool over the quality of Antares tack. After having a chance to work in the tack I am officially hooked! Beautiful leather and craftsmanship coupled with great style and ergonomic designs for both horse and rider. I love it! Now if you would carry their halter and lead and replacement parts!"

"I recently bought this bridle and had the Edwardian Script put on the crown piece and it looks amazing. Truly a quality product. I bought the Antares oil for breaking it in and it soaked it up and turned into a rich, gorgeous color. I love using this bridle because it is so padded I know my horse is comfortable and looks amazing. I get so many compliments. Not a bad thing to say about this bridle! If taken care of well should last a life time! Perfect!!!!"

"I bought this bridle because I knew the quality of the leather would be excellent, and it looks beautiful in all the pictures I have seen. And it was beautiful and perfect for a warmblood. Unfortunately I have a Thoroughbred with a refined and Typey head and it made his head look boxy.
I am saddened that I have to return it but would be perfect for any warmblood."
