Sizing Information
Measure your current bridle and compare.
The easiest way to determine the correct sizes for your bridle is to measure the parts of your current bridle. You can compare these measurements with the Bridle2fit size chart below
I’d rather have it measured
A bridle fitter will measure your horse
For the best fit, we recommend having a Bridle2Fit bridle measured by a bridle fitter.
Many bridle fitters are also equine dentists or bit fitters. They come to your home and work with you to put together a bridle that’s just right.
Size Charts
Three tables, one for each section
Measure the parts of your current bridle and compare the measurements to the table. You don’t have to use the same size for every part.
Table 1
Nose Strap S1 and S3
A is the distance between the nose pieces. B is the total length of the strap, from buckle to buckle. Measure your current nose strap at the same two points.
| Size | A | B |
|---|---|---|
| Cob | 32.0cm 12.6 in | 44.0cm17.3 in |
| Medium | 34.0cm (13.4 in) | 45.5cm17.9 in |
| Full | 36.5cm (14.4 in) | 49.0cm19.3 in |
Swipe the table to the side to view all sizes.
Table 2
Low noseband
The lower noseband runs under the bit and has a ring on each side. A is the length from ring to ring.
| Size | A |
|---|---|
| Cob | 28.5cm, 11.2 in |
| Medium | 30.5cm, 12.0 in |
| Full | 32.5cm, 12.8 in |
Swipe the table to the side to view all sizes.
Table 3
Head piece and side pieces
Measure from one bit ring, over the head and behind the ears, to the other bit ring. That measurement determines which cheek pieces go with which headpiece.
| From bit ring to bit ring | Medium headpiece, 70 cm | Full-size headpiece, 75 cm | Extra full headpiece 80 cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 83 cm | 18 cm | – | – |

Size per component, not per bridle.
You don’t have to use the same size for everything. A cob noseband paired with a medium headstall works just fine.
