Recommendations on where to buy a bargin bridle?!

[kt with Hanni]

My tack was stolen recently so I'm lloking for new tack. The saddle fitter is coming out next week so I hope to buy a saddle from him as i'm no expert in saddle fitting but I need a new bridle (haven't bought one since I was a kid!) I'm looking for good discounted buys due to credit crunch. Has anyone seen any bargin bridles for sale? Thanks ;D

Ebay.. and look for english leather.. there is a companySharps I think it is and their leather is tanned in Cosgrove near Milton Keynes and they supply most of the english leather wear but much cheaper..

What size is he?I may have an older one you can have to tide you over depending on how big he is

Depends what you call a bargain? Ebay have loads of cheap bridles but they aren't always English leather. GFS bridles are relatively cheap on there as well sometimes around £40 plus postage. Kincade is a good budget brand, around £20, good strong leather and supple, great for everyday. Hydrophane do budget bridles, Olympian is another budget brand.

hunt hunt and hunt ebay!
My OH managed to bag a Jeffries Falcon bridle with unbranded reins and a bit for £32 delivered

I just bought a Kincade bridle this morning - only for the reins as it was cheaper to buy the whole bridle than a set of reins on their own!

Seems a nicle bridle though.

Heritage is the name used but made with leather I spoke about on 1st reply.. they are often sold on Ebay and I can say rather nice bridleware and not expensive.. and they are english leather..
