Where to find extra large browbands?

[Surbie]

As per title really - my horse takes a 19inch browband so the standard XFull is far too small. I'd like something new - he has a wide plain one at the moment from the Big Horse Shop, which is perfectly serviceable but dull.

Any suggestions for sites that do nice leather or a tiny bit blingy brown browbands? Either custom or catering to the huge horse market?

Same here.
I have a nice one from Fylde Saddlery which is well made and good enough for his show bridle but its plain flat leather.

I'd love a brass clincher one but the prices are terrifying so I'm looking second hand.

Have you tried HeavyHorseHarness.com? Blue Horse Equine?

I'd love a brass clincher one too!

Thanks, I'll look at those two - horsemanship saddlery do custom but I'm not keen on their bling options. Which makes me fussy! I have just found a 19inch plaited browband on ebay, but no mild bling.

A friend has just had a lovely browband made to measure and chose the colour of the beads/bling etc from https://www.davenportleather.co.uk/contact

Are there no saddlers any more? I make/made my own, sometimes with really outrageous decoration, I'm supposing that actual makers of tack are a dying breed.

For bridle bits it seems to have moved online, and not all do custom/oversize parts.

I've been pointed to Evo Equine who do custom clinchers for the same price as their xfull, just with a longer lead time as custom orders are made in the gaps between making standard sizes.

I like the look of Evo Equine. I'll have to measure up and see if they can do one big enough for my horse. Thank you

I only wanted a plain 21" browband for my donkeys driving bridle. I gave up looking and made my own.

I'd be inclined to go to a private harness-maker tbh and give them the measurements you require the item made up in.

I couldnt find anywhere that did a blingy one for dressage. My saddler kindly made me a plain black 20 inch one but I still deep down would love to have some bling!

You can bling them up yourself its not that difficult and the stuff is available on ebay … if youre not at all crafty you probably have a crafty friend somewhere that would be happy to bling up a plain brow band after watching a couple of youtube videos

I sense a gap in the market.....currently making a load of blingy dog collars for friends and own new puppy.
