'Melodie' patent bridle

$254.75

SKU: L46801

The 'Melodie' is the ultimate in versatility - right at home in the show ring, yet classic enough for an everyday bridle. This bridle will rise to any occasion, and has been handcrafted from top quality leather that will stand the test of time.

The Melodie features a clincher style silver browband in an elegant deep curved shape.

The headpiece is soft nappa leather with gel padding, cut away from the ears, that moulds to the horse's head for the ultimate comfort. It is a 'monocrown' headpiece which means it is a single strap over the poll which removes pressure points or pinching.

The high-shine patent hanoverian noseband is also gel-padded.

Features:

Black or brown vegetable tanned top quality leather
Elegant, deep drop silver clincher browband
Gel-padded anatomic head piece (single strap)
Gel-padded hanoverian noseband (patent)
Stainless steel fittings
Quality stitching and craftsmanship

Reins not included.

Please see our collection of reins here to select a pair that suits your preference.

This bridle is also available with a matte (non-patent), or with a white padded noseband. Please see our bridle collection to view variations or click the links above.

Please note, we are in the process of changing all noseband closures from a standard buckle to a crank buckle closure due to customer demand. While in this transition period, we unfortunately cannot guarantee which style of noseband closure will be dispatched.
