:D I'm hoping you'll meet her someday, Andreas. Soon as I feel able enough a rider to attend one of your USA clinics on the east coast (probably Melanie Adams'), we'll be there :)
You probably can, geziebijgien. The woman I purchased it from imports from Hungary, Portugal and Spain. Here is a UK site that carries "Hungarian Bridles":
And you can search for more stores. If you show them a picture, they may be able to order it or tell you where to get one.
As an aside, that bridle does not fit my mare very well. She has an extremely large, long head and the noseband is attached directly to the cheekpieces. As a result, the bit sits too high up in her mouth. Up, as in off the tongue.
Ow the barokshop, I know the owner she is from Holland as well, what a coincidence! I will show her your picture and ask her, thank you. The bridles on her website don't have the beautiful red decorative you have. To bad it doesn't fit your horse that well.
Wonderful! If she can't find it, I'll put the woman from the US who imports in touch with you. I'm sure she won't mind telling *you* where she gets them :) Oh, and there is a LOVELY breast collar that matches.
Re: fit -- This summer I intend to take it into a local leathershop that does wonderful work. I think the nose band could be removed and have some "sliders" put in so that it can move up and down horizontally on the cheekpieces. If it can't be changed, that's okay. It's beautiful anyhow and it does fit the haflinger I also ride much better :)
She's a beautiful Lady! Thank you for sharing her with us! The bridle is lovely, as well, I would like to make a miniature so lovely! I wish that I were near, I would make it fit her perfectly.
:-)

Beautiful horse with a beautiful bridle!! Wow! To bad you cannot buy something like that in the Netherlands!
