I think they can be had for about $20 if you go with the non-blingy kind, although the leather quality isn't great. <br /><br />I'd measure your kids and then compare measurements to off-the-rack bridles. I found that a "cob" or "horse" sized bridle varied WILDLY in the measurements between brands. Unfortunately I just couldn't find one that worked for Paddy. Hopefully you will have better luck!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-73965531883674509742014-08-08T01:33:42.569-05:002014-08-08T01:33:42.569-05:00LOL!

I am looking at having to go custom for my arabians (for a dressage bridle - I can find brown leather everywhere, but black, um apparently not!) - pony sized head stall, cob sized noseband, and a horse sized browband. The cob sized bridle I have now JUST works. Tightened all the way to the top on the cheeks, noseband on the last hole, browband is snug but works... though I found out a way to stretch it - gently - so I'm going to try that until my new job starts - aka we can afford stuff again...hammerhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144749417680923288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-83959928054401031292014-08-06T22:05:25.487-05:002014-08-06T22:05:25.487-05:00Thanks!
