It’s time for a change.
When it comes to bespoke equestrian gear, it’s nothing if it’s not about the fit.
Most of the people I meet have a browband that’s too small.
It lays across the forehead, but it’s tight and pulls the crown of the bridle forward toward the ears. When it comes to browbands, extra space is key.
What if it sticks out from your horse’s forehead?
Two things: You want it to stick out slightly.
More than an inch or so might be too big, but you want your browband to be on the roomy side.
Second, if your handmade crystal browband sticks out a little, all the better for placing his forelock under it so everyone can then see the crystals glistening and gleaming in the light.
Here’s the deal when it comes to finding the perfect fit:
Envisioned Equestrian handmade horse browbands are generally crafted on the 1/2 inch.
We prefer to go up in size to help people get a good fit.
If your cob is currently wearing a 15 and you think it’s great, we suggest ordering a 15.5 or even a 16.
For example: We recently fit a horse who was wearing a cob-sized browband and the owner felt it was good.
This was a Quarter Horse, so they were not terribly big.
By the time I left, they were comfortably fit in a 17″, which looked great and gave them TONS of room to get that bridle sitting well behind the ears.
This QH wound up with a WB size, but that’s just how it goes sometimes.
Our personal rule of thumb: always go up in size if you’re comfortable doing so. You’ll be surprised at how happy your horse will be with a little extra “headroom.”
