The chart above provides the measurements I use for each size, if your measurements do not match please fill in the Bespoke Snaffle Bridle Measurement Form and email this to me with your measurements. I will then respond to you with a price.

To measure your current bridle, please take it apart and lie each component flat on the table. Please measure from the turn of the leather around the buckle (not including the buckle) to the end of the point of the leather. For the cheek pieces, please leave the billet fastened and measure from the turn of the leather around the buckle to the turn of the leather around the bit. Please provide all measurements in inches. 

If you are unsure on how to measure, please email me on info@rtleatherwork.co.uk and I will advise further.
