I've been through the bridle phase too..............too small of a throat latch ( I buckled two together), too small a brow band, not long enough over the poll, etc., etc. I thought I would have the bridle issue fixed by buying single ear bridles. Besides making the horse's head look cleaner and more beautiful, you don't have to worry about that cumbersome throat latch.....................unless you have a Fjord with small fox- like ears as my Mirage does! After a couple of time when he shook his bridle off, standing there with the bit still hanging in his mouth, I ran a small piece of rawhide over the poll and up from the other side - just another version of a throat latch - thankfully, it works and the rawhide is nearly invisible because it matches the color of the Gray dun.

He is definitely big around the cheeks but small in the nose. Bam-Bam is kind of big all over, but especially cheeks.
