Bridle for sale -- a very nice one!

After much deliberation and after purchasing the fifth bridle in the Harv and Riley collection, I am regretfully selling the Dover USHJA Hunter Derby bridle that Riley wore at two breed shows in 2008 and early 2009.



Why am I selling? Because Riley will never jump, and he is actually starting to look more dressagey than huntery. And as much as I love this bridle, it will not get used. It's horse sized, it's in pristine condition, and it's already oiled so you don't need to guess what color it will end up (this bridle is very, very light before oiling). Dover sells it new for $300, and this bridle is indistinguishable from new except for the oiling.

It's currently on Ebay so you can bid on this listing.

Thanks for indulging me in a moment of shameless commercialism.

    Luckily, I do not need a bridle. It does look quite nice.

    Glad Riley is heading towards dressage. I firmly believe it is one of the healthiest pursuits out there for a horse.

    Heh, lucky for me it's only horse sized, if it was oversized I'd be realllly itchin' to buy it! I love that bridle!

    It's generously sized Solitare :-). I originally got to OS and it was just HUGE, the browband was 3" too big...
    The horse size fits riey w/room to spare...

    It's lovely, but it will never fit my little Arabians.

    Ah, that's flattering Sierra, but I have all the camera charisma of Ben Stiller :-). Heck, maybe I'll enter anyway, but we'll all have a good laugh at my youtube promo!
