"I love the traditional look of an old-fashioned flat hunt bridle. I bought this on a whim when it was on sale, and I am very pleased with the quality for the price! It looks great on my gelding. I am hoping to take him foxhunting or hunter pacing sometime wearing this bridle!"

"Leather looked and felt like plastic. It looked nice on the horse, but I did not end up keeping it. Chewy's return service is outstanding and deserves 5 stars."
