I just got this bridle in today and the leather is soft which makes putting on bits easy as 1,2,3,the bridle is very well made.Only thing I was not too happy with was I ordered chestnut color and it looks like havana color,but not taking it back because I think my saddle will darken over time to match.
Very happy with the quality of this bridle. After a good oiling, the leather suppled right up and the sizing is very accurate. It fits my mare wonderfully. I wish it came in black with white padding!
