HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT SIZE

In general, the medium size beta and nylon headstall will fit all horses except large warmbloods and ponies. In English leather, average horses take a full size. Arabian sized horses would need a cob size. If you have a horse that you are not sure about, here is how to measure. * Western style headstalls are the same size as medium beta.

HOW TO MEASURE AND HEADSTALL SIZES

Measure 1 ½” to 2” up from the corner of the horse's mouth. From that point, measure the circumference of the horse's nose. From that same point (1 ½” – 2” up from the corner of the horse's mouth). Run your tape measure up the side of the face, around the poll (behind the ears) to the same point on the other side of the face.

* If you find it too cumbersome to run your tape all the way around the head, measure up the side of the horse's face to the very top of the poll (to the point right between the ears) and double that measurement) Use these two measurements to determine what size headstall your horse needs.
