[RC] regular (leather) english bridles for Arab heads - Karen Casemier

This isn't actually endurance related, but since so many of you have arabs, thought I'd check.

I am having a heck of a time finding a regular English bridle (ideally with a flash option, but that is seemingly impossible) to fit my Arab mare. Pony sizes tend to be too small, but cob sizes tend to be too big (or, the pony size fits from bit end to bit end, but the noseband is too small, or something like that). I have a frankenstein bridle right now that is 1/2 cob, 1/2 pony - while I have gotten it to work, it still doesn't sit that great on her head, because every thing is either on the first hole or the last hole. The big problems I'm having is that most cob sized bridles are too long from bit end to bit end and the brow bands are too big.

For those of you that do dressage or other English riding with your Arabs, do you know of English bridle manufacturers whose cob size run small - or pony sizing runs big? Or a manufacturer that makes an Arab-sized bridle that is NOT $200 or more? I'd like to stay in the $100 range.

At this point, I don't care at all about color... just would like to find something that FITS, and really would like the flash attachment as well.

You can e-mail me directly at kcrazzmatazz at hotmail dot com.

Thanks!
