What tack (size/make/model etc) do you use for your Heavy?

[suzyqet]

A question for those who ride Heavies, what tack do you use and where do you get it from?

Thanks to all in advance.

I use an Ideal WH saddle as it gives room for the large shoulder.
Aerborn humane girth, standard sizing.
The bridle is hand made.
The rugs are a mixture of premier equine and bucas, all 7'3"
Normal XL headcollar
I do struggle with some things such as over reach boots and our lorry had to be specially built for the height (8' inside).
