Bit to bit (red):
If you have a current, fitting headstall, measure from the end of the leather at the bit, up around behind the ears, and back down to the end of the leather at the bit on the other side.
Browband (purple):
Measure your current browband from the leather fold, over the forehead, to the leather fold on the other side to where the browband ends after passing all other leather straps.

Bit to bit (red):
Measure from one corner of the mouth, over behind the ears and back down to the other corner of the mouth. With this method, subtract 2 inches on each side for the bit, so a total of 4 inches less than the actual measurement (take away more for bits with longer purchases).
Browband (purple):
Measure from the other side of where the bit to bit line would fall, go over the forehead and back to the same spot on the other side.
Throat latch (green):
Measure around the horse's neck (like a necklace) from right behind the ears around and back to the starting point.
Breast Collar

Breast Collar
Chest Straps (Blue):

Center Strap (Orange):
Measure from the center of your horse's chest down between the front legs to where the strap attaches to the girth.
Sizing, Customs and Info
Sizing
New Inventory
Custom/Draft
Headstall sizes are as follows unless otherwise stated on the individual sales.
- Large Draft size: 46" - 56"
- Draft cross/Small draft size: 42" - 50"
- Standard Horse Size (m/l): 35" - 43"
- Small Horse Size (s/m): 31" - 39"
We strongly recommend measuring your horse's current headstall, bit to bit, so the size will fit perfectly! If your horse can fit in the smaller size, we suggest going with that one, so the strap ends don't cover so much of the beautiful cheek pieces.

If you see a headstall listed that isn't in your horse's size, please shoot us a message and we can most likely alter the sizing for you before we ship it out!
I am also happy to design a custom headstall if you don't see one you like, or have a draft horse, or some other size different from average. I can build one with your preferred color, conchos, spots and buckstitch!
Draft customs are built to your horse's specifications from scratch. Custom orders in this category start at $135 for one ear headstalls and $165 for browband headstalls. The price may rise depending on the design chosen as some take considerable more time and product put into them.
Colors ~ we use Fiebing's Pro Dye and offer the following variety of colors: chocolate, dark brown (dark oil), mahogany, and black.
Designs ~ I design and craft each headstall myself. I can recreate a style you might see on my page, or design something completely unique for your horse! Styles, conchos, spots and buckles will vary and change with availability.
