Halter Bridle
how to measure for your horses bridle size?
how do you do it. it would be an English Bridle. i know there are sizes cob, full, oversize, arab, and quarter horse. how do you measure and decided what size Your Horse is.
and also how do you figure out what Size Halter to get? thanks!
Decide on the type of material you want. Your decision will be based on personal preference, use and budget. Nylon is cheap, strong and easy to care for, but is not suitable for competition. Synthetic leather has all the properties of nylon, but looks smarter. Real leather is by far the smartest and environmentally friendly, but is also the most experience and the hardest to care for.
Decide on the color of the bridle. Your decision will be based on personal preference, and your horse's color.
Decide on the weight of the material. This means the thickness of the material. Your decision will be based on personal preference, and your horse's conformation. A fine head will look better in fine material, while a more workman like head will look better in a thicker material.
Measure your horse's head. Bridles come in standard sizes, however horses don't so measuring them is important.
Measure for the headstall, from the corner of the mouth over the poll to the other corner of the mouth.
Measure for the throat latch around the poll and across the cheeks and 4 of your own fingers.
Measure for the Brow Band from just to the left of the left ear to just pass the right ear.
Measure for the Nose Band around the horse's nose 2 fingers below the protruding bone.
Choose a nose band that suits your horse. The nose band effects the action of the bit and the going of the horse and therefore should be chosen in conjunction with a bit. A nose band isn't always necessary and some horses are ridden without one, or with just a cavesson, which has minimal effect.
A crank cavesson has some effect to stop the horse opening his mouth or crossing his jaw. The cavesson and the crank cavesson are the only nose bands that should be worn with a double bridle.
Flash and drop nose bands have a greater effect at stopping the horse opening his month or crossing his jaw.
Grackle nose bands have a similar action to a flash, but work over a great area of the head and higher up.
Kineton nose band is a type of combination nose band that transfers some of the action of the bit to the nose.

Demonstrations
Paul will introduce the art of feel through a collection of global concepts in horsemanship applied to real world problem solving. The skills will be demonstrated by directly helping troubled horses and owners with common issues and vices, i.e. hard to catch horses, leading and pullback problems, trailering issues, bridling and bitting, saddling, mounting, lead changes, collection braces, refusing jumps or water crossing bridges and dealing with other obstacles one might encounter, spookiness, rearing bucking, kicking/striking, feet issues such as being hard to trim or shoe, impulsion, and barn sour issues.
Colt Starting/Problem Solving Class: Introduction to the Art Feel
This class will teach you about catching horses in a way that is fitting for the horse, introduction to haltering and leading with class, building your horses confidence in you by helping them deal with objects or situations that activate the self-preservation instinct. You will cover saddling, bridling, and riding; learning to read when a horse is ready mentally and emotionally for this step. The participants will also learn to deal with common behavior issues that stem from a communication gap between horse and human, i.e. spooky/pull back horses, hard to bridle, hard to trim or shoe, pushing through the leg or bridle, refusing jumps or water crossing and other obstacles, spooky barn sour, trailer loading, striking/kicking, biting, rearing, and bucking.
Ranch Roping and Cow Working Class
This class introduces the horse and rider to a style of roping and handling cattle that will benefit all disciplines of horsemanship. This clinic covers everything from doctoring cattle on the ranch, gathering and shipping large herds of cattle that have not been handled by horses, arena roping, fixing hot horses, box problems, rating cattle, working Cow Horse and Cutting Horse foundations, penning and sorting, learning to read, sort and drive cattle getting a better cow handle on a horse. Slick horn or rubber, 30' ropes or 60' this class is a mixture of Vaquero Style big loop roping and arena timed event styles.
Intermediate Horsemanship: Understanding the Art of Feel
Paul will be introducing the art of feel through the sense of touch. This art involves moving the horseâÂÂs feet with your hands, with the Lead Rope, snaffle connection down to the feet and through the mind. The collection and straightness of a horse is a state of mind. They have to be soft, collected, and straight mentally before it can be transferred to the feet. Lead changes and flying changes are introduced in a herd setting, thus imitating the natural impulsion and freeness of flying changes in a natural setting. You will learn to create a state of mind within the horse where they would rather be with you than anywhere else, creating a herd of two.
Uniting four hooves and two minds â¢
Advanced Horsemanship Class: Living Through the Art of Feel
Paul will guide the participants in creating an environment where the horse would rather be with you than anywhere else. Collection and straightness is a state of mind, if the horse is not soft and connected to the rider on the inside, then it is hard to direct the horseâÂÂs feet in a way that is fluid and forward to accomplish the common tasks we ask of them. The class will cover lead changes, flying changes, jumping, collection, and straightness in a performance setting. Riders will learn the importance and connecting the rein to the feet and being able to direct and influence the hind quarters of the horse. Riders will learn how to achieve straightness through balance and flexion laterally by eliminating braces in the horseâÂÂs body. Learn to take the softness from the corners of the horseâÂÂs mouth and transfer that the entire length of the body, down to the feet and through the mind. Learn to develop your sixth sense and intertwine it with your horses, by riding them as fast as they can run, thus developing confidence in your horse and their confidence in you. Riders will also experience riding blind folded in a controlled environment to develop trust in your horse; this simulates riding in the darkness or through bad storms in the mountains where visibility is poor. Become able to ride in a horse race and feel comfortable and at complete ease, ride like the wind. If your horse knows that you know you can ride him at any speed with mutual confidence your relationship with your horse will be better than you can possibly imagine.
