August 18, 2011 - New bridle

New bridle, old reins
I went to Greenhawk's four day sale this morning.  Their Connemara line of strap goods was on sale for half price today only.  It was a great deal and I wondered how they could afford to sell at that price, even for one day.  When I went looking for the bridles all became clear - sale prices on in stock merchandise only, with almost nothing in stock.  There were two bridles on my possibles list and only 3-4 of each. Fortunately I found a cob sized one among them. 

When I went out to the barn in the evening I couldn't resist bringing Rory in to try on his new bridle.  The bridle fits quite nicely and the leather is decent quality.  I'm not a fan of the white stitching, but for $30 I'm not complaining.  His training bridle is definitely not in good enough condition to use at a show, and I don't want to make his custom bridle until next year because I'm sure his head will grow a bit more.
