Maybe it would be better without the flash, but then you essentially have a hunter bridle with an annoying loop. I'd sell the Antares.

Sorta... <br />PS: I hate the noseband. Flat doesn't do it for me. But you love it. You do you. The leather looks meh. <br />Red Barn: I usually dislike red barn, but I really like the noseband here. Switch out the browband and trim off the flash strap. You have a great bridle. <br />Antares: does not look dressage. Fancy stitching bothers me. Love the crown, though...<br /><br />So I guess I'm suggesting you sell all but the Red Barn and find something with a raised noseband, awesome padded crown, and nice leather, without a flash strap.

The flash shouldn't be pulling the nose band down the face, to the point it's looking like a figure 8 when it isn't. I had a poorly adjusted noseband for a long time and I did permanent damage (stretching) to the noseband when I rode for years with a flash on it. Now it drops down the face even without the flash.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-61861835592320957412015-11-19T09:40:38.269-07:002015-11-19T09:40:38.269-07:00....
