stubben sizing

[pixiebee]

what is the sizing like with stubben bridles? ive seen one im in love with but only do it in full size! my pony is a chuncky 13.3 new forest who normally takes cob size? would it come up huge on him????

I think it will come up rather large on him. I have a 16h1" Hann x TB & he has full size Stubben bridles but they're adjusted to be almost as small as it can to fir him. I think that even with your horse being chunky won't manage to fill the bridle....sory, looks like you'll have to find another.

Incidentally I had a 14h1" NF some years ago, he was chunky & he had cob size in bridle, Full would have swamped him.

ok thanks!

Agree - my arabx has a full-size with a couple of extra holes drilled in by hubbie- could have done with a cob size also

Could you measure your bridle and compare to the measurements of the new one? Surely they have a website giving dimensions.

I found that Stubbens were small fitting, even their XFS was too small for my horse.

You need to be careful. I bought my Stubben Bridle in Germany, over there they talk about TB Full size and WB Full size. I think a Full size will be too big for your pony.

The full is too big for my tb but cob fits him perfectly.I would go for cob.

Oh dear, perhaps my horse has a particularly huge head as everybody says Stubben is made big.

 

[cellie]

ah but they say big is beautiful or handsome in Jakes case lol

Ty has a full size stubben but it's erring towards the larger size - he's got a massive head (typical irish TB) but there's no way it would fit Oscar who's a cob size in his bridles.

Look at the Mark Todd bridles - just brought one for oscar and it's lush - prefer it to the stubben that I brought Ty!
