I talked about this mind-blowing thing a while back so I won’t rehash it all again, but I remain generally pleased with how Presto goes in this bit. At some point I’ll upgrade but for now it’s fine. I didn’t intentionally choose it for Presto, it’s just one of those things where I had it and I started using it on him one day, and now that’s just what it is. I’m pretty sure Lund is out of business now, but this was Henry’s XC bridle back in the day. I guess I need to do them in black glitter now…īridle: Lund Figure 8 with a Dark Jewel Designs spike browband I also love love my FreeJumps, I got them used for a good price and painted them navy. The balance is great, the buffalo leather is grippy… it’s just perfection. I’ve loved it from day 1 and if anything I love it more now. ![]() Saddle: Arion XC monoflap with Arion stirrup leathers and FreeJump Soft’Up Pro stirrups I’m a big fan of the sliding humane ends on a dressage girth, I think it makes it sit a lot better and conform to the shape of the horse. I bought this one used forever ago for Henry. All the horses seem to like them a lot though, Presto included. I’m salty about how much more they cost now, and shipping prices went way up too. I do like these Premier Equine pads with the integrated merino wool, although I liked them more when they were like half the price they are now. ![]() Saddle Pad: Premier Equine Merino Wool dressage pad It’s very punk rock with the faux leather trim, glitter piping, and spikes. He also has a navy Willow Tree Warmbloods bonnet from Equine Bonnet, but since we’ve switched over to black he’s wearing his new ITBF mesh one. I was able to find a used one in a 5.5″ on facebook for a good price, so that’s what he’s stayed in.īonnet: If the Bonnet Fits custom mesh bonnet This is what Megan had been riding him in on the flat when she had him in training, and it was one of those “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” situations. Trying to take a pic of him in his bonnet before dressage and he was zero percent interestedīit: Herm Sprenger WH Ultra Sensogan Snaffle ![]() I just have to find one that 1) I like 2) has a plain noseband, no flash. Granted, this bridle is starting to look a little abused so I’ll probably be shopping for a new show bridle in the not so distant future and retire this one to just daily use. I also picked up the Thinline reins used, and really like how they feel in my hands on the flat. ![]() I picked up this bridle used for an excellent price because I just love the look of the square raised, extra padded Devoucoux noseband. They come in a bajillion colors.īridle: Devoucoux snaffle bridle with a plain noseband, Dark Jewel Designs spike browband, and Thinline reins The Bates leathers I bought secondhand from someone many years ago – credit to them for lasting so long, they’re still going strong – and the stirrups I picked up on sale a few months ago because I wanted black ones on my dressage saddle. For what I paid for it, it’s been a great find. At some point when he’s done growing I’ll invest in something nicer, but for now I just get it checked by the saddle fitter every 6 months and so far so good. It’s not like… my dream saddle or anything, but it works really well for both me and Presto. This is the saddle I picked up last year for a song and restored.
