I bought this as an everyday and show bridle (from Equinavia, not TSC) and am overall happy with it. I took a bit of a gamble since this had so few reviews and the pictures and description didn't always match, so some clarification for others: The black bridle DOES have silver hardware (it's a bad photoshop job in the pictures, but the description is correct). The browband is in fact a snap style, though you can't really tell in the pictures. The flash itself is removable, but the loop is fixed on the noseband (I believe they have some models where the loop can be pushed into the noseband, but this isn't one of them). The leather quality on this is interesting. It's very soft, but almost feels like a soft synthetic? Especially the noseband and crown piece. I guess it's the nappa leather? It's not bad, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I did take off the padded part around the noseband buckle since it was hard to get on and off when the bridle was new- I may put it back on now that it's starting to break in because without it you only have a single keeper for the noseband. The horse size is about right for my Thoroughbred at roughly the middle hole on the cheek piece, though the noseband is towards the tight end and is still not quite flat against his nose. If you have a horse with a delicate head, the noseband may be a bit too large. The browband is very pretty! Flashy without being super over the top. Overall, it's a good option for the price point.
