This message is from: "Dave McWethy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Before I started Camptown Harness, I had trouble getting bridles to fit. I remember sending new driving bridles back to Smuckers twice (they should have known better) before I gave up on them. The solution was to make bridles. There is nothing complex about fitting Fjord heads. You just have to make bridles the right size.
At this point, we probably have made more harness for Fjord horses than anyone else, perhaps excluding someone in Norway. I have joked that we make harness to fit Fjords and adapt them to other breeds, rather than the other way around! Not surprisingly, since my own horses are my models, Fjords are the most prominent on our website. Having said this about Fjord bridles, it happens that not all are the same size. There are some that have larger noseband or crownpiece-throatlatch measurements, and we make those changes from a "basic" Fjord size. The most common problem in off the shelf bridles is that browbands are too short. Fjords mostly require 18 inches, end to end, and occasionally but rarely, 19 inches.
