Looking to get a plain cavesson noseband for the boy and am not entirely sure what size noseband to buy. He will need a cob bridle but i'd like your opinions on what width noseband he'd suit. Sorry photos aren't great, can't get one close of his head sideways:

I would go for a flat hunter type one, what a lovely boy :)

Thank you, I think so too :D The flat hunter is what i'm looking for, i'm just rubbish at deciding wheather something looks good or not ha ha! Atm we are using one of the riding school's old bridles but I want to get him one of his own

1 1/2?

No smaller than 1 1/4 Id say. Can you borrow some different width nosebands off anyone and try them on him, and take pics to compare?
I did that with mine and it really helps.

Ok thank you :D I can try nosebands from the local saddlery shop, they are pretty nice about letting you try things if you take care of them but most of the nosebands in our school are raised cavesson or grackles and the flat cavessons seem to all be the same width. I'll have a wander to the shops in the next wee while :)
