Top Brands of English Bridles

A bridle is the headpiece that fits over a horse that allows a rider to direct it. It includes the reins, the part that fits over the horse's head and the bit--the part the goes into the mouth of the horse. The English bridle is one of several different styles of bridles.

  1. Harmohan Kraft

    • Harmohan Kraft makes English-style bridles that are high in quality but not in cost. The leather used for these bridles is soft and well stitched. The dye job on the leather is nicely done, and the lacing on it provides a nice contrast that looks beautiful on the horse, as well as being functional. These bridles run true to size, so when ordering one horse-sized, you can be assured it won't actually fit a pony.

    Edgewood

    • Edgewood crafts bridles that, though on the pricey side, are such high quality you may find them worth the cost. It only takes one time oiling it to break it in, and these bridles are perfect for everything--shows, exercising or other activities. Edgewood bridles are made with the highest-quality leather and fine, detailed stitching. Because an Edgewood bridle is well constructed, they can last for years and years where others get run down.

    Jerry's Dressage

    • Jerry's Dressage bridles are a top option because they offer a reasonable price for custom-made bridles. Dressage bridles off-the-rack can range from $200 to $600, whereas Jerry's offers custom-made English dressage bridle's on the low end of that spectrum.
