Build A Bridle is Riviera's first-ever custom custom bridle option. Start by selecting one of the many Riviera Equisports bridle styles, then select your custom sizes, colors, and types for each piece of your bridle. All bridles designed with our Build A Bridle service will come with our upgraded European leather by J & E Sedgwick & Co.
What sets the custom line apart from our standard bridles:
For more information on this leather, please read below.
Sedgwick leather is sourced and selected using only the highest quality cattle hides in the UK, as well as buffalo hides from the Far East. This tannery has strict quality control measures in place through each stage of its production. This ensures that no imperfections are overlooked by their craftsmen. All leather is hand-finished at J & E Sedgwick’s with an open-grain texture and a high-shine finish.
Leather is a wholly natural material, therefore it is a biodegradable product. The hides used by Sedgwick are a byproduct of excess pieces from the abattoir. Sedgwick ensures that additional steps are taken to recycle any waste that is created during the tanning process. We use vegetable-tanned leather, most leather that is not vegetable-tanned is chrome-tanned. Chrome tanning can be not only dangerous for horses (resulting in rashes or other allergic reactions) but is also dangerous for the person working with chrome tanning. Studies have linked many cases of respiratory cancer (among many other cancers) to those who work with leathers and chrome tanning. These are just some of the small impacts we try to make in the leather industry to change it for the better and encourage as much sustainability as we can.
Please note, by customizing a bridle, you understand and agree that this is a non-refundable selection. We offer returns up to 7 days after the bridle arrives to you if it is returned in its original unused condition. This includes crease marks, or any signs of use that would make leave the bridle in a condition other than "New". To ensure a proper fit, please see our size guide.
