Where to buy a bridle for Sec A with very small head!

[StarcatcherWilliam]

I bought a new bridle in pony size for my 11hh Sec A pony, but it was too big. I then bought a small pony / Shetland size - still massive!! Anyone know where I can get an even smaller bridle from? Thanks.

My section A had a tiny head too and most Shetland bridles were huge on her round the nose and throat lash. The only bridle I found that fit well was the Sabre small pony bridle. It was made a lot finer and in proportion for fine dainty heads.

is this one smaller?

Flyde saddlery, you need an extra small pony. Shetland tend to have short fat heads

Dinky Rugs sell tiny tack

Don't know if they still do them but Derby House's own bridles are small for their size. The pony size only just fits my Shetland mare who has a nice neat head.

You would probably be best getting one made. It doesn't cost as much as you may think and if you show then you can get all the buckles where they look best. I took a bridle in to my local saddlery and got them to make one for my NF mares head. She was a mix of pony and cob sizes. I got a lovely english leather bridle for £65! (Admittedly it was about 8 years ago so costs made have increased but saves hassle of trying different makes)

I have the same problem with my fine section A

Best off the peg one I found was Ascot in the Shetland size, the cheek pieces are near the top hole but it does fit well

I also had some bridle parts made to measure by a chap on eBay who also sells completed ones, they are beautifully made and English leather. hopefully this link will work http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=121274256406

Worth contacting Cremedemonthe on here - he does made to measure.
I share your pain, I also have a sec a with the dinkiest head possible!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

This one (in small!!) sounds perfect! And a good price too, as much as I'd love a super posh bridle, it's only for my nieces to ride him on the lead rein so I didn't want to spend too much. Thank you!

Feel your pain! I've ended up mixing and matching different bridle parts, the cheek pieces/throatlash are shires small pony, noseband is robinsons small pony and brow band is a pony sized!
Its functional but doesn't match
Once I've saved up enough ill get one made to measure i think!

Another vote for Fylde, I have an 11hh sec A with a very dinky head and her Fylde bridle fits her perfectly.

Have any of yours also got tiny little ears, shall also look up Fylde as my sec a has a small but broad head had trouble trying to find a head collar that would fit.

I use Eclipse small pony headcollars. KM Elite do loads of different sizes and are nice headcollars and English Bridles do a small pony leather headcollar that fits my sec A perfectly
