Yes, you can.

But it is considered bad taste, if you use it in show.

But here are the Pro's & Con's of Synthetic Tack.

Pro's:

* You don't have to have Cattle killed, to have the Tack made. * It is more durable. * It won't show as much wear & tear. * It is very "clean friendly". You can just squirt it with a hose on high, and it's clean! * It's less expensive.

Con's:

* It is not as formal as Leather. * Most equestrians consider it bad taste to use it in SHOW. * You can't find it at all Tack Shops. You sometimes have to order it ONLINE.

Is there such thing as a synthetic bridle?

Yes. There are many styles of bridles for varying equestrian disciplines and they are manufactured out of varying type of materials. Leather is the most popular, but nylon and synthetic tack is also widely available. The downside to synthetic tack is that it does not break in and because supple with use. It also is unforgiving in that if your horse were to get caught on something it may not break and serious injury could occur. On the upside, synthetic is typically much more economical than leather and requires far less care to maintain. One of the world's largest manufacturers of synthetic tack is WINTEC.
