Ill-fitting equipment can cause discomfort or injury to your horse. Follow our guide to choose the right size for their build, and learn how to take the correct measurements before ordering.

|---|---|---|
| Shetland (- 1m) | Shetland | Shetland |

Muzzle Circumference
Measure the circumference of the noseband, about 5 cm below the cheekbones, where the noseband usually rests.
Poll-to-Nose Length
Measure from the poll (behind the ears) to the nostril, following the line of the head, to adjust the headpiece and browband.
Girth Circumference
Pass the tape measure behind the withers, following the natural position of the girth, to choose the right size of girth or breastplate.
Between two sizes?
Always choose the larger size: a slightly large halter or bridle is easy to adjust, unlike equipment that is too small.
Our advice before ordering
- Take measurements on a calm horse, with their usual halter or bridle in place for comparison.
- Sizes may vary slightly depending on the model: always refer to the specific product table when provided.
- Most of our halters and bridles have adjustable buckles on the headpiece, browband, and noseband.
- If in doubt between two sizes, our team can advise you before purchase.
- An exchange is possible in case of a size error, according to our return conditions.
