Bitless Bridle - How to measure

How to measure Headstall Sizes

Measure 1 ½” to 2” up from the corner of the horses mouth. From that point, measure the circumference of the horses nose. From that same point (1 ½” – 2” up from the corner of the horses mouth). Run your tape measure up the side of the face, around the poll (behind the ears) to the same point on the other side of the face.

* If you find it too cumbersome to run your tape all the way around the head, measure to the very top of the poll (to the point right between the ears) and double that measurement)

Use these two measurements to determine what size headstall your horse needs.
