Bridle to fit 14.2hh - pony or cob size????

[Guest 2]

Hi, I have had a look on ebay and there are some nice bridles. I am currently looking into getting Gypsy a new bridle as hers is in good condition but isnt really the best fit as the buckles are all on the top holes. Plus i would like to get her a new one.

So I am thinking that her current bridle is COB size, so i think Pony size would be a better fit for her.
What do you think? Shes a 14.2hh cob x but her actual head isnt too chunky, heres some pictures.

Your opinions would be very much appreciated!!!

We have a 14-2 cob and we buy cob size bridles for him

Id say Cob to

cob...better 2 big you can always punch a few holes if you have too

ok thanks

I am planning to get her a nice good quality bridle with a pretty browband

lol
Pickle is in a cob sized head piece, a full size browband and a pony size noseband but then he likes to be awkward

lol!

I'd say cob too.

I have a slightly more heavily built 14.2 cob and I have to use full size on her.

Depends on the make - we usually buy cob size for our 14.2, but Lemetex, for example, come up HUGE. Prob best to buy both sizes then try on at your leisure- most tackshops will allow you to return stuff

Maybe try both and then take one back as our full up 14.2hh gets pony size bridles (he's part bred arab) but our old 14.2 got cob.

Probably cob.

What do you have on her in that pic? It seems to fit her fine. (I'd even lower the noseband just a tad there)

My 15hh Welsh D is in a cob but on the smallest hole. Can you not ask the seller a question about the measurements to the shortest holes?

My 14.2 welsh is in a full size.

I'd go for cob.

My 14.3hh goes in a full horse size.

If you have a bridlde measure that. If you buy Jeffries or Sabre you can tailor make your bridle to suit yourself which we do with Kizzy the 16hh cob as her nrowband is over-size and the rest full.

My 14'2 Newie /arab and Jazzmyn 14'3 arab both are cob size.

I would say looking at yout lovely horse thought that most cob sizes would fit.
