    it sounds perfect from what I've researched. She's a 16.2h quiet fine in the head. I'll see if I can measure her. I'm pretty sure a black will fit her. She's a very sweet girl this is really the most pressing problem.

    Dually opinions and sizing.

    Hi All, My lovely big girl who has so much potential hasn't learnt her manners and is a little head strong. She is gorgeous in so many ways and we are very early days (I haven't had her very long at all) but she will benefit from some gentle / natural training. Leading her is...

    Riding tights any recommendations or sizing help?
