Rainbow of colors, I choose the pink, looks great on my 4year old Warmblood/QH cross filly. Quality of leather and workmanship is fantastic for the price.

I treated myself to a new browband for my snaffle bridle, and let me tell you, people stop me EVERYWHERE to tell me how great it looks and ask me where I got it. I have the green one and it holds up great and looks adorable on my bay boy. It doesn't squeeze his forehead or give him ugly sweat marks. These would make awesome gifts too! The only complaint I have is that the enameling on a few of the beads has sort of peeled off, but if you spin them around you can't tell, and it gives them a sort of nice "marbled" look so I don't mind at all:)

I received this browband and went to our first show with it and got compliments right away about how pretty it was. It fit well and was soft and pliable. It is pretty without being gaudy, just nice and a little understated. only gave a 4 for durability because the colors appear to be fabric, and I'm not sure how easy it will be to keep them clean.

This browband was in a group under a heading that said, "Exquisite hand-beaded browbands." There is not a single bead on it. It is made of fabric rope-trim, very plain, not in the least "exquisite". I would have sent it back, but needed it immediately for a show, so I'm stuck with it.

The browband looks nice on any color horse and fit well on my Passier bridle. The cord inlay frays easily though so I'm very careful with it. When it arrived it had a bit of glue on one side of the inlay that I still have not been able to remove but I really can't complain about details when I only paid $20 for it.

I ordered the pink iced pearl one for my beautiful grey Holsteiner mare. I really liked it, but within only a couple weeks, the color of the pearls seems to have faded to a light lilac from a beautiful muted darker "iced pink". It is still nice and the overall quality is not bad, but I'm a bit disappointed, it was classier before. Also, the loops at the ends are very small, I had to take out the throat latch strap, it still looks fine. It fits my mare, she wears a horse/full size bridle, but I eventually I will probably replace it with a more expensive/higher quality browband.
If the product description had stated that this was an Ovation product, I would have likely not bought it in the first place. I also saw later that Ovation was selling this browband for $ 18-ish -- and for that price one can't complain much.

Good quality browband and a good price. I would buy the browband again. And it also fits my Arabian very well, sometimes it is hard to find tack that fits him.

My browband just arrrived and I'm very pleased with it. The quality looks very high, and I love that it's a little bit blingy and different, without being over-the-top. It looks very nice on my Hanoverian gelding and it fits him quite well. My only observation is that the loops on the end, where the crownpiece goes through, are on the small side. I'm using this on a Passier bridle, and it was a 15 min struggle to get the crown piece and the nose band straps through. This will make taking the bridle apart for cleaning difficult, but at least I don't have to worry about it slipping down or drooping. In general, very pleased with my purchase.

I have been on the hunt for a fun browband for my hunter. I am not a person for all the glitz and wild and crazy bands that are out there today. I was looking for something that was inexpensive and fun and some what neat. When I came to smartpak I was able to choose from a bunch of price ranges and styles. This brow band was the perfect fit for me! It is well made, good color choices, and priced great!

I bought this browband for a friend who has a gorgeous dark bay Tbred. We were very happy with the quality, especially for the price! I priced some very expensive browbands for my mare last year and many of them were 3x the price and not nearly as attractive. It looks great on her handsome guy!
