How do I size my bridle?
To check the fit of a bridle:
- The headpiece, which forms the main part of the bridle (in combination with the cheek pieces), should lie comfortably behind the horse’s poll
- The brow band should rest across the horse’s forehead (preventing the headpiece from slipping backwards), with a clearance of two finger widths to prevent the headpiece from pinching the ears
- It should be possible to place two fingers under the cavesson noseband if this is correctly fastened
- The cheek pieces should be buckled equally and should allow the bit to lie comfortably in the mouth, creating only a slight wrinkle at the corner of the lips
- The bit should lie flat in the horse’s mouth, with approximately one centimetre of clearance on either side of the mouth
