I love that this narrower option for a crown piece exists. As a bridle fitter, there is absolutely a need for a range of thicknesses to suit different horses’ confirmation. And as always the quality is top notch!
I love this crownpiece. The quality is excellent, and the ear slots align perfectly with all three of the horses I've had it on. Runs true to size.
This is my second bridle that I have bought from FFE and the quality of the craftsmanship does not fail to delight. Delivery is quick and communication is great.
