Build your own bridle help

[DraftUp]

Highland cross gypsy cob needs a bridle but it’s got to be mix and match sizing. I’ve tried horse and cob and parts of each fit her though I think we might need pony cheek pieces 🙈 Obviously it all needs to match but I would like to build one/have it fitted. Want a brown, flat hunter style super comfy and ok for showing. What’s the best most practical way of going about this? Picture of her in an ill fitting cob bridle. TIA

She's lovely!

Might work? Not sure how much you want to spend but a friend has used them and the bride is lovely and fits her maxi cob perfectly!

If you search "build your own bridle" there's lots of choices! 😁

Have a look at Henry James saddlery. You can order each piece on its own.

We have a shires velocity, like most shires products it's a decent quality copy of far pricier products, very affordable . Initially bought the cob sized bridle and had to swap the browband to full. Bridle is an ok fit but am wondering if ideally we need a full size headpiece and pony cheek pieces to balance. All the parts are available separately. I have the hunter bridle which is very smart but currently changed to a grackle noseband which just fits his fat nose. 😅. I think the full might come down too low

It's many years since I bought a bridle but when I did want one I had a similar problem, native head with odd sizing. I'm not sure if they still sell this but at that time Mole Valley sold pieces of bridles (the make was Wyvern). I think I ended up with f/s headpiece, pony cheeks, f/s browband and cob noseband. It was lovely leather and all matching. The noseband was particularly nice as it had a broad flat nosepiece with no flash attachment, just what I wanted.
