Mmm, will try!

Well you need to attach the bit and reins. Then hold the bridle next to your horses head for a rough guide.

Undo cheek pieces so it's just hooked through (enabling you to alter the length of the cheek pieces once the bit is in the mouth quickly).

The head piece and browband should be snug but not tight or pinching the ears.
The width of 4 fingers wide for the throat lash when done up.
The nose band (cavesson) should be able to get one finger under and should sit aprox 2 fingers width from point of cheek bone.
The buckles on the cheek when done up should be about an inch down from the eye level with the other ones.

Oooo this is hard. Be much easier to just show you:D
Is there someone you can ask to check it for you?
Anyway hope this helps and doesnt confuse you more:eek: Good Luck
