Not sure if they have the exact one you want but these do some bits in 1/4 inch sizes.

Hi.

I love that particular bit and use it on lots of horses! SORRY mine is NOT for sale - I couldn't do without it! :)

Try www.abbeysaddlery.com - Abbey make hundreds of bits, and will usually make any bit to order if you want something different. They make bits for the saddlery trade, but I think also direct-sell to the public. I must admit I have never checked to see if they still do 1/4 inch sizes, but it may be worth having a look at their site or sending them an email, telling them exactly what you are looking for, and ask if they would make it - and how much it would cost of course! ;) Surprisingly, some of the bits are not huge money, made to order. I recently wanted a 'weird' bit and it was under £28!

Hi

SORRY! :eek:

...my mistake, don't try Abbey on that web address I just posted - you need www.ridingbitz.com - that's the 'bits department' of Abbey, the other website is the saddlery 'trade-only' division! It's getting too late for me to be on NR in deepest, darkest Hungary! ;) K

I can get one made up. .... but they are British hand made and not cheap.

[BlueWicked]

thank you all very very much for trying to help :)

Kis Vihar - I cant get your other link to work either.. will go and try googling them.

Wally - how much would it be? PM me if you like :) Poor Blue, the 5 1/2 is definately too big, but I just feel the 5 he his in has no room at all the sides and isnt ideal either:rolleyes:
