Where to Get an Adjustable Drop Noseband/One that's longer! - Also in CR

[JustMe22]

As above really. Only managed to find one drop noseband in the whole flipping province in South Africa, so I'm using that, but the fit isn't great.

I've scoured the internet for UK sites but not had too much luck.

Preferably not too much - the rand/pound exchange rate is never favourable for me! Sites that will post to UK cheaply are fine - or SA, but things tend to get stolen in the post here.

I'm happy to buy a non-adjustable one too, provided it's a bit longer.
From ring to ring, using the furthest points, mine measures 23cm.

Try kate negus. They do a really nice drop noseband and probably would be able to adjust sizes for you.

Most saddlers will do a made to measure one and it costs the same as an off the peg one for ours.

I've got a Jeffries one I don't use and it measures 25cm across the nose.

Thanks everyone. Only know one proper 'saddler' in the English sense of the word over here, but will try and get contact details for him and ask about making one.

Marmalade, do the Jeffries ones come in black and brown? Has to be black, I don't have any brown tack.

I answered on the comp riders post http://www.plasequestrian.co.uk/leatherprices.htm halfway down- i love mine despite the not great website

Thanks a lot Law Had a look - it seems pretty good for the price! Visiting a saddler here tomorrow to see if he can custom make, if not, will have to order one from the UK or Europe I think

English Bridles are really helpful - they sorted out a noseband for my horse only last week.

Ha! I just asked about a website in US for this reason, but I have come across the informed bitting website just now, and they do an adjustable drop, so I'm going to give her a phone in the morning.

I also have a lovely jefferies flat drop, which I've had for years (and took me years to find), but sadly its too big for the horse I want it for now.

I had one made recently to match my black/white Stubben dressage bridle. Didn't cost the Earth. I'll try and find the details of the people who made mine and post back.

Actually, Kieffer do a nice drop. Ayr Equestrian can supply them for rrp £29.99 plus carriage from Germany is £11.50. That's what they told me when I enquired recently.
