For your working tack, quality is a lot more important than fancy, and these bridles are some of the finest quality you'll ever find. If they're taken care of they could last a lifetime! They start with Hermann Oak harness leather for the outside layer and bevel the edges on each piece after it's cut to size. It's then matched with a layer of latigo, to protect the harness leather from sweat and minimize stretching, and they are then stitched together with amazing workmanship.
