Anyone see any good ones for a reasonable price? (Under $300) I met a person at Rolex that works for Frank Baines and I was under the impression that I had placed an order for one with a padded crown, buckle ends, crank, one plain rein and one with rubber lining for $270 (yay!) but I never heard anything from them and haven't had any luck contacting them either. I passed up a sale on the Vespucci one at one of the tents b/c I thought I was getting a Frank Baines. My horse can't do the really wide nosebands either. I ordered the Steffen Peters one from Dover and it was not cute on him! He has a long, narrow face. Anybody find anything anywhere? Or know when VTO is having another sale???

You might want to check out eBay. I just bought a custom made bridle with swarovski crystals for $160 Canadian including shipping from England. The quality is well surpassed of that of the Stubben and Passier bridles I looked at and at less than half the price. I highly recommend them.
Here is a link to their eBay store.

Yep, I keep scouring ebay. I did find the FSS ones. Didn't know the quality but the pricing seems good. The Frank Baines one on there has those blasted hook stud ends that always get me cussing trying to change bits out (which I'm sure I'll have to do for a while to get a weymouth that works) and I'd have to buy one of those contraptions to turn it into a single padded crown. I have thought of doing that though to some bridles I've found that are nice snaffle bridles with plain crank nosebands and adding a bradoon hanger. So many decisions...
