Like other reviews have mentioned, this does run small. I have a huge Arab who usually wears cob size or horse size on the smallest setting and the nose and piece is about 3" closer to the cheekbone than the one pictured. This is not adjustable. That being said, I love this bridle. My horse has a melanoma in his mouth and can no longer take a bit. I have tried the expensive Dr. Cooks and honestly this one is better. He is very responsive, especially to the whoa, with a light touch. It stays put. It is not the highest quality but for less than $15 bucks how could anyone one expect more? I love it and would buy it again. Only suggestion is more sizes.

this is a good bridle for my horse.she is getting the hang of it. i wish it was adjustable but it is not so basically 1 size the jaw piece slips but other than that is is pretty good. the price is wonderful and i would buy another. the rains are nylon so stretch could not control a high strung horse.My horse loves it and is not itchy at all. i would buy 10 more!

My sister bought this to use on her sensitive QH mare. It did not work. The reins are stretchy and the part where they attach under the noseband pulls tight under the horse's chin. The rope does not feel like good quality. Don't waste your money.

I don't see how everyone is complaining about this bridle. The reins are very stretchy, but it's wonderful. I bought it for my little mare who stands at 13.3h with an arab type head, and it fits her perfect. She has just been started under saddle and would not take the bit at all, so I bought her this and she is amazing with it. Rides perfect with no head tossing. The nose peice is not like a choke chain, you just have to loosen it to slip the nose through, and then slip over their ears. I will be buying another one of these for my other horses.

It did not fit my horse at all. He hated it. I do not recommend it! Its really stretchy and my horse did not respond to it what so ever and the nose cinch thing never loosened so therfore was extremly annoying to my horse! But it depends on the horse I guess.

I bought this for my Quarter Horse mare. She has a pretty normal sized face. This fit her almost perfectly, except the noseband. The rings where the reins clip are very heavy so the noseband is like a choke chain almost. It puts a lot of pressure under their chin. Another thing is that the reins are very stretchy making it hard to get light contact. I didn't like this at all and would not recommend it.

I am unfortunately going to have to return this. My gelding has a small head, all the regular "horse sized" equipment (halters, bridles, fly masks) are on the smallest adjustable setting. So even after I read the reviews that this runs small I thought it would probably fit him... but I could barely even get this up over his ears and the noseband was too tight so there was no slack in the crossunder. I have an English crossunder we use daily so I know how they work and it's not a case of user error. This just didn't fit.

My 4 year old hunter/jumper quarter horse gelding responded to this bridle immediately. He has a soft mouth, as his previous owner only ever rode him in a halter. I wanted a safer alternative to the halter for trail rides (and when my husband wants to pop on him bareback) and I found it in this bridle! It is soft and the reins are long...this bridle makes it easy to take breaks during a trail ride and allow him to graze...and I don't have to worry about cleaning the bit afterwards! He seemed to appreciate the absence of the bit and was actually easier to slow down with this bridle than one with a bit. He didn't fight it. It fit him perfectly (he is 14.3 and 900 lbs). Of course, it could be better quality, but for $15 you really can't beat it.

I have an 8yr old gelding that was abused and has always bucked, kicked out, and reared multiple times every ride! He also is a bit chomper, I got this bridle and he never bucked, reared, or anything the whole ride and responded amazingly to it! I'm sold I will be ordering more! We had tried everything he's been floated, everything but this bridle works! Its a miracle! thank you!
