Does anyone have any experience of the new Sprenger Sensogan bits and, if so, is there a noticeable difference in the way your horse goes compared to other bit materials such as Aurigan etc? Also, does anyone have any experience of the Sprenger KK Ultra Type 2 (with 'wings') or the Stubben...

Thanks for this. After expressing my displeasure at their service when I called earlier today, I have now been called by their accounts dept and a refund/credit confirmation sent by email. Will be checking my credit card statement later to make sure it has gone through! It's disappointing...

There's no problem getting your orders now - but wait until you try to get a refund. I sent back some Ariat Half Chaps, which were delivered to them 11 days ago by courier (so proof of receipt, plus one of their assistants confirmed they had received them), but I'm still trying to get my...

So pleased you have managed to get him back. I'm afraid it's stories like this that make us say we will never, ever sell any of our horses. My cousin had a similar experience to this but she was unable to get her pony back…

That's what I found with the new ones I tried in the SS size. My current XS ones fit fine, but I could barely do up the zip on a new pair of XS!

Calf is 13.75 inches wide and 16.5 inches long… so right in the middle of Ariat sizing!

I currently have some old Ariat XS Classic half chaps which are in need of replacing and ordered some new ones…. very disappointed that I couldn't get them done up in my usual size, even though my legs haven't changed in size. I sent them back and ordered the next size is SS (small short) -...

I have 2 Duos for my other horses, but they are smaller and finer. The one Duo is very old and I had to get a larger neck cover, however, I only bought the other last year and the neck cover on that is much larger. I love the Duos, but not sure whether it will be a wise decision for the ISH!

I'm considering whether to get the Amigo XL or the Rambo Duo for my 16.2hh ISH, who is mainly Irish Draught. Does anyone have any experience of the XL heavy turnout? I'm wondering if the sizing around the neck will be better than a Duo, which is my preferred choice. Had lots of problems...

Thanks to everyone for their replies - very helpful

Does anyone have one of the Kieffer Comfort Bridles? What is the quality of the leather like and what is the fit? How do they compare with Amerigo/Prestige etc?

Does anyone have a Collegiate bridle and can you please tell me whether they tend to come up true to size, big, small, etc. I have a TB x Connemara with a fairly fine head but he is a full size in Amerigo and a cob size in Stubben/Prestige. Thanks!

Many thanks for posting these pics - you don't look short legged in the dressage saddle! The picture of you on your big horse reminds me of me on mine - I too look like the 'pea on a drum' on my 16.2hh ISH!!!

I tried an immaculate secondhand (barely used) Ideal Roella monoflap last week, but unfortunately it was a bit too wide for my horse, otherwise I would probably have bought it. I have not actually seen a Roella normal flap or Cygnet, although I was in contact with Martin Wilkinson saddlers the...
