How To Measure Your Horse For A New Solo Bridle
Confused as to what size your horse is? Don't know if our full size will be the same as the full size you bought from another brand? Fear not! We're here to help!

Just follow the 2 steps below and you are on your way to confidently buying a bridle thats sure to fit like Cinderella's slipper!

1. On your current bridle, measure from the bottom of the cheek piece to over the crown piece, to the bottom of the cheek piece on the other side. Sounds complicated? No worries, check out the picture below.

Our Cob size goes from 34 inches to 41 inches.

Our Full/Warmblood size goes from 36 inches to 44 inches. If your horse falls within those parameters, you're off to a great start! 

Our Overzied/Extra Large size goes from 40 inches to 48 inches. If your horse falls within those parameters, I'll definietly need a mounting block to get on your horse, BUT we do have bridles that will fit them!

2. Measure the circumference (ugh...stupid math terms actually came in handy!) of your horses nose without a bridle on. You'll want to measure a finger width or two below the cheek bones.

 

Our Cob size will fit a nose from 24 to 27 inches.

Our Full/Warmblood size will fit a nose from 25.5 to 28.5 inches.

Our Oversized/Extra Large will fit a nose from 27 to 30 inches. 

The browband length on the Cob is 16 inches, Full/Warmblood size is 17 inches, and on our Oversized/Extra Large it's 18 inches. 

I hope that helps you determine which size would best suit your horse! If you order a bridle and it turns out to be the wrong size, you can always exchange it with no issues at all! If you have further questions or concerns, you can always hit me up (Stephen) on our chat platform or through email at swag@soloequine.com

Happy Riding!

Hello- My horse has a wide forehead but a narrow nose- He is 37 " for the end of cheekpiece measurement and 23" for the nose. His browband is 17". Can you substitute as 17" browband onto a cob bridle ? I am interested in the Solo success bridle . Thanks.

My horse would fit perfectly into the full with his measurements of cheek to cheek (38") and browband (16.5"), but his nose circumference is 24". I’m afraid the full will be way too big. Can you substitute the nose band?
Also, I would like the thinnest nose band available. Which bridles have that? I am looking at snaffle bridles with crank.
Thank you.

Hi Stephen!
Do reins come with the Maplewood bridle? And can you choose a different brow band for the Maplewood?
Thank you!

I am getting introduced to your bridles—My horse measurements are in between cob and horse: Nose circumference is 22 inches; cheek to cheek measured with current bridle on is 41.5/42 in. What size do you recommend?

Are the measurements for sizing the same for a drop noseband bridle?

I’ve measured my horse who currently wears a cob size . The circumference around is 22-23 inches and he’s on the last hole. Will yours be the same?

It’s something we plan to do more of in the future. But you can always email us if you have specific requests for a bridle and we can usually make it work.
