"I am obsessed with this bridle!!! The leather is of great quality and the crown piece is so convenient. This bridle looks fancy and very expensive despite its reasonable price. The color is a beautiful brown with very soft padding, I have been very happy with this bridle!"

"I bought this bridle for my Thoroughbred after I noticed one of the other girls at my barn had it. I had my eye on it before seeing it in person, but once I felt it and saw it on a horse I had to have it. I was a little concerned with the color tho, because it came a lighter brown, but after a few oilings it darkened right up and looks great on my boy! It's also really supple right out of the box and gets even better with some oil/ conditioner. This is an awesome bridle for the price!"

"I love this bridle! Leather is soft and supple even before oiling it. I've been putting up with the same old ratty looking bridle for 13 years because I HATE breaking in new reins. Does run a little large, I ordered full size for my thoroughbred gelding and the throatlatch is extremely long, will have my local saddle shop shorten it by a few inches. I'm considering buying a second one for my daughter's horse- will probably try the cob size."

"I was looking for a replacement show bridle since my very nice Jaguar bridle was too small for my current horse. I, unfortunately, could not afford another Jaguar bridle, so I took a chance on this one. It has everything I was looking for and looks amazing for the price! The leather oiled up very quickly and I love the quality and the raised reins! Great bridle and I cant wait to get in the show ring with it!"

"I bought this bridle about a year ago for my warmblood with more of a refined head- I bought a full at the time. It was a bit too roomy, the throat latch was MASSIVE- and even with being on the top hole- could have used a good 5 more to go up on....but the leather softens up nice and I really do love the bridle itself.
This past week I ordered the same bridle (so I could have one schooling and one show bridle)....I opted to order the cob size hoping it would fit just right...it fits...and will probably stretch a little bit with wear...but I did have to punch some holes further down on the noseband as it was lying a bit too high on his head. Throat latch fit much better in the cob :)"

"Was looking for a good first bridle for a new horse. Needed reliability but didn't want to invest in a more expensive bridle until I determined what the best bridle would be for her. This one looks great and we get compliments on how well is works and looks. Matching attachments a plus"

"I love this bridle. I cannot say enough good things about it. I am headed into my 3rd show season and this bridle has continued to look amazing with quite honestly very little care. I use Effax Combi and Passier Lederbalsam every couple of months on it. I always get compliments. Great bridle. I couldn't be happier with my purchase three years later. I need a new show bridle for my new horse, and believe I will be purchasing my second one."

"Good bridle. I originally bought it as a schooling bridle but it works great at shows as well! I get compliments on the uniqueness of the crown, and how it looks more expensive than it actually is.
I only needed to oil it once, and it's very easy to clean; it only takes me about five minutes to wipe it down after every ride! I love the padding, and I never have to fumble with two crown pieces anymore (its amazing); the design of the crown actually keeps the noseband in place as well, so no more readjusting all the time.
The noseband does fit a little small. I ordered a cob size for my stocky large pony, and the noseband barely fits -- but i'd much rather have that than a bridle that I have to punch holes into.

I was curious to find out if it really met up to the good reviews it received, and it does. You pretty much get more than your money's worth, so its a steal."

"Very nice bridle, fits perfect. I love the integrated browband and it cleans very easily. Great value for the money and would be fine for everyday use and showing. I disagree with other reviews stating that it was hard to adjust, I actually like the fact that I am not constantly moving the browband back into position!"

"I was in the market for a bridle to match my saddle and came across this bridle. The leather is a lovely reddish brown that went well with my oakbark saddle (Thornhill 24K). I have two warmbloods that are somewhere between a horse and an oversize. I got the oversize and the bridle seems standard on the cheeckpiece but smaller on the noseband and throatlatch. I would say if your horse is between sizes, get the smaller one but they run pretty true to size. Overall, the color is handsome on my blood bay and the leather needs to be broken in but it is easily breaking in with wear."

"I have loved this bridle since I first saw it! It was nice and supple leather right as we got it. It was not stiff at all! The quality of the leather is very nice, next to everyone else's bridles at my barn, it stands out the most! I love the amount of padding it has, the headstall is very padded, along with the nose band and the brow band! My trainer liked it so much that she bought her own for her horse! She also has no complaints! The dark brown looks very nice next to my dark bay/bay paint! No complaints, phenomenal bridle for the price!!! A must buy!"

"Love, love, love this bridle! You can't beat the quality of this bridle for the price. The leather is nice and I really like how the bridle is padded. It darkened up beautifully with oiling and the leather got nice and soft right away. Looks just as nice as bridles twice the price!"

"I ordered this in cob for my 14.1 welsh/tb cross and it's a bit chunky for his head. The quality of the leather, for the price, is excellent but fit for his smaller head isn't great. The throat latch is really long, the crown piece pretty thick and I can't really get the brow band where I want it. It's a great bridle for the price but better suited for a horse I think."

"I have a barnmate who has the Plymouth bridle and I LOVED it. I opted for this because of the fancy reins, monocrown, and slightly wider nosband. Right out the bag the leather was beautiful and soft! I could hardly wait to oil it! Once oiled a few times and after I had rolled the leather a bit, it was amazingly supple. It was too cold to ride but I had to try it on my mare. The attention to detail was amazing. From the padded crown and chin, to the roller buckles and perfect stitching. It is comparable to other bridles that cost $X00's more! Looks beautiful and will be purchasing a second in the future. Thanks SmartPak :D"

"I absolutely adore this bridle. The color is completely gorgeous - I love that it isn't that awful orange color. It was DEFINITELY worth the price. My 15h warmblood cross adores it, although the cob size was actually too small for him. The only part I don't like is how the noseband's keepers are stitched in. Then the rest of the strap just kinda hangs loose. Overall though, I love this bridle. It was worth every penny."

"I LOVE this bridle, unfortunately the ends of the noseband were unfinished so I couldn't thread it over the top of the bridle like it's supposed to go. It would be appreciated if it was shipped pre-assembled! I have a $500 Antares bridle that looks almost identical to this bridle and with oil it is just as supple! Also seems to be a color that matches well with almost any standard "brown" color of bridle accessory."

"I got this bridle for my new TB expecting to use it for a schooling bridle only, but once I got it I use it for shows also! It is so fancy for the show ring! People come up to me asking where I get this bridle all the time, thinking that it is really expensive. The leather is a gorgeous color, and made of great quality stuff! I had this for almost a year and it still looks brand new! This is my all time favorite product from smartpak and will definitely buy it again!"
