Jean, Gunthar must have bigger bones AND a filthier sheath than every other Fjord! :) The 5 5/8 snaffle I got for him is just barely big enought (I know no one makes a 5 5/8 bit - bit this one is - I measured every snaffle in the tack shop - meticulously.). The 5 3/4 Glory Bit was still a bit snug. Finally had to get a 6 inch Glory bit, although I think a 5 3/4 snaffle loose ring or egg butt snaffle might do. Would be interested in other's experiences with bits. Gunthar, like Jean's Bjorken, appears to have very little space in that mouth for anything that is not food!
