I want a new bridle

@newforest that's much better, and actually quite a good angle for showing a lot of the fitting points. She has lovely big ears, we used to say they were the sign of a kind nature.

You constantly critisicise other people. Put them down and treat them like idiots while quoting various books. You then do not like it when you are pulled up.

That's all.

Comments like this are not nice nor necessary. As I tell my kids, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, then just stay quiet”. You cannot tell the fit of a bridle from a grainy picture and I find it hard to stand back and read provocative comments designed to cause upset on this forum. I come on here to talk about horses, not to read comments like this.

People are allowed opinions, and all that was originally said was that the bridle didn't fit well which was a fair comment since even from a grainy photo it's clear it doesn't. This was then taken as a personal criticism and caused a reply that also wasn't particularly nice and was in turn responded to. Would you rather people looked at a photo of a badly fitting bridle and thought theirs should fit like that? I wouldn't.

I'd go made to measure then, I did with P and don't regret it as he has an awkward size head & I wanted a few specific requirements. It seems like you've decided this already though!

I have @PePo since I think it's the only way I'm not going to have to compromise on fit. I may get lucky and find something extremely close that can be customised, but it's a gamble and hardly seems worth it.

When I was a kid you never bought a whole bridle like we do now, at the very least you bought the pieces separately, and true made to measure was quite common. Now people pay to get a bridle fitter out yet still often end up with an off the peg bridle with compromises on fit.
 
I love my micklem for Faran. However they fit him. If they didn’t then I’d know as he’s very vocal (the moves he throws 😅) if he isn’t.

I would also go down the M2M road @carthorse if required. They have to be comfortable to do the work and we have a duty to make them comfortable 😊
