Headpiece

How to measure:
Measure from where your browband would sit (the base of your horse’s ear), up over the poll, to the opposite ear base.

Full length of headpiece	53cm	62cm	69cm	72cm
Lenght of padding	29cm	32cm	37cm	40cm
Lenght of the straps	12cm	15cm	16cm	16cm

Cheekpieces

How to measure:
Measure from the corner of your horse’s mouth to the top of the eye. Make sure to take your bit into account when selecting a size – taller bits (such as pelhams or elevators) will require shorter cheek pieces to sit correctly in your horse’s mouth. Add 9 cm to the number of cm you measured to calculate the approximate size. Or measure up the cheek pieces that you use now. Our sizes are from the top of the buckle until the end of the strap.

Browband

How to measure:
Find the base of your horse’s ear and measure from a little behind it, across the forehead, to the same spot just behind the back of the opposite ear.
