Good bridle for big roman noses....??

[charliecrisps]

I was going to move her on with the recent diagnosis of COPD, but youve all taked me out of it So, Full size too small (last hole if im lucky occasionally) Extra full size too long in the headpiece. tried jeffries (too long), Kieffer (incidentally the quality i thought was pants for the price - the holes split when you put the buckly through!) Stubben was far too small!
Anyone got over this probem with a particular brand....someone mention GFS designed for cob breads?

Hi there, I ended up making my own for my mare - I live near a great saddlers that has a slection of individual bridle pieces in different sizes, may be worth considering?

I've had to make my own bridle up as well from a local saddlers.

Mine has an extra-full noseband (but needs extra holes in the length to make it short enough), xf browband, full size headpiece and cob size cheek pieces.
I can make do with a full size bridle, as long as I use an xf browband so I do that for my spare. You're probably best making one up from various parts though - I'm sure sabre do them if you want a posh bridle

I have a couple of Jeffries bridles, I have to buy a Full and then get the cheekpeices shortened. A really big thick noseband is what you need

My saddler hand made my bridle for me.

I had this problem too! Albion KB comfort bridle is lovely

x full will fit on nose (does with my big warmblood - full the straps wouldn't even touch over the nose!) BUT make sure you order it with a full size headpiece - not the x full. That way it will not be too long over the head. I didn't know you could do ths until recently so mine is all x full and the browband sits too low as the padded headpiece is too long. I am going to order a new headpiece separately but its about £55 just for the headpiece

we asked our saddler to make one for one of the hunters and it meant that he could take measurements to ensure that it was a good fit, but also getting a full bridle and doing a bit of a mix and match with the cheekpieces worked fine!

we have roman who ironically has a very large roman nose. We bought a cheap bridle in warmblood size from tragos down here...i cant remeber the name but it was actuallty a make
