Measurement Chart – Snaffle Bridle
- Please take all measurements in inches
- The easiest way to measure is to use an existing bridle as a guide, fit this on to your horse so that everything is the correct length. Don’t worry if the buckle is on the top hole on one strap and the bottom hole on another strap
- Please fit the bridle using the horse’s normal bit. There will be adjustment both smaller and larger for different bits.
- Remember to include any changes to the existing sizes. i.e. If your cheek pieces measure 10″ but you want them 1″ smaller then write down 9″
- Please fill in all sections and if you are unsure about anything then either ring 07782 310649 or email info@hrsaddlery.com for further advice
Remove the browband and bit from the bridle and lay the bridle flat to take the measurements.
