Leather coupling for in hand bridle - where to buy!?

[Spot_the_Risk]

Our youngster was a tad excited at her first show, and OH has requested he has more control than just a leather lead attached to the noseband! I've got a leather coupling to go on the bit, but can only find a full size (she is really big pony/small cob size in her bridle), and I really wanted one which attached to the noseband AND the bit rings, so it acted on the nose first, and the mouth as a last resort.

I've had a quick look on line (Derby House and Robinsons) looked in my wholesaler books, and can't find what I'm looking for at all, so any help greatfully received (next show is SUNDAY!)

It's a three way coupling you need - have you tried ebay?

Loop the noseband through the middle ring, that will give you nose leverage as well as from bit rings.
Any decent saddler should have them in stock but if not, try Gibsons of Newmarket.

Try Flyde Saddlery - I got mine from there, albeit for a larger size than you want - if they have not got it, they will tell you where to get it. Not the cheapest, but the quality is super.
