A girl that trains with my trainer has a different Crown dressage bridle. It's decent quality, I mean it's not buttery soft, but for the price it's a good bridle. It's a nice blanket but www.sstack.com has the best blankets in my opinion and the prices are perfect. I don't have any experience with Suffolk leather, so I can't help you there. For shipping I would get standing wraps, pillows or no-bows, and bell boots. They are safer and provide more support. Plus at shows you use them to set up your horse at night.

Thanks! That was very helpful. I will look for some standing wraps, pillows, and bell boots tonight. =)

As Machopony over there said. Crown's are decent. Not the best quality and the softest leather, but it's OK. IMO, you can't get a better quality blanket than a Weatherbeeta, and that's a dang good price for one as well. Go for it. Love the patterns, too. I would not go with a Suffolk, the leather is like cardboard, and from what I've experienced never breaks in. The lesson horses at my barn that I school have Suffolk bridles, I hate the quality. And I have no experience with those shipping boots, but they look fine to me. Escpecially the purple. xD

Thanks! I know, the purple was a plus on those boots. I am in love with that blanket, too. It is so dang cute! XD
