What are the reasons to have a rope bridle versus leather/biothane bridle?
The main benefits of a rope bridle versus the leather/tradtional style is that it’s probably more comfortable for the horse (lighter and less restrictive around the nose) and you can tie solid with it like a regular rope halter. They also come with reins included in the price that are lightweight and can be used as a leadrope too (not for tying though as the clip will break under pressure) – although it you remove the clips then you can tie solid with the rein.
