Please use the bit you intend using on the bridle as bit ring sizes vary & it will affect the length of the cheeks.

  Please note that as these bridles are not standard fit, they are individually made to your own specification and will not fit anything else,  therefore they cannot be returned, so Please be accurate in your measuring, remember - measure 3 times - cut once! 
    If you make a mistake and the part can be used for another order, i may be able to replace that particular part only.
