Cheek pieces…need help!

[SKCurrie]

Hello, i am a first time pony owner and his bridle is lovely but not quite right. The cheek pieces are too long (cob size) so we need pony sized. I think the bridle is possibly a Jeffrey and someone recommended the Jeffrey Falcon cheek piece but I can’t find anywhere!

Any recommendations for a brand that is 18mm (3/4) and would suit his current bridle?

Many thanks for any advice

You could always take the cheek pieces to a saddler and ask them to shorten them a bit.

Look at Dever Saddlery, they do all sorts of shapes & sizes & very reasonably priced.

Oh I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you

Jeffries bridles can be bought in parts. Find a saddler that sells then and take your current ones in, match up width and purchase a shorter pair.

Edit, your throat lash looks buckled a tad high too, perhaps look at a shorter headpiece?
Then your buckles should match in height.

Personally, with the benefit of hindsight (!) I would get a saddler to shorten them to exactly the right length for your pony. My 15.1 cob has pony size cheekpieces on his Shires Velociti bridle and even they are really too long. I keep meaning to take them into the local saddler to get them customized.

Jeffries hunter bridles typically had blunt-ended straps, not points as on your headpiece, so whatever you buy, look for close colour match and right length. Someone posted on here that Jeffries had been bought out, but there should be plenty of stock about and a good quality make.
Lovely pony!

Lovely pony!

Yes that too, very pretty pony

If you get the saddler to shorten them (quite a common job) then take your measurement so all the buckles line up with the eyes.
