Every shape and size

I was in the tack shop the other day and fell in love with this headstall. It's nylon with tooled leather across the top of the browband and sidepieces. I liked it because it's the same hunter green as Annie's halter. It's got gold fittings like her halter. I figured that when I go trail riding she can wear both halter and bridle together and be stylin! Her halter is made of narrow webbing since it's an Arabian size, it matches perfectly. I thought, easy clean, too, just oil down the leather inserts. I haven't bought a new headstall for a while and although I don't need it, I figured I deserved it. :) I thought it looked really good with my fancy star snaffle bit and the braided roping reins, at least until I find a nice pair of romal reins, which I've been dreaming of, for ages. However, when I tried it on, as usual, the tightest notch is still a little too big and the straps hang down over the design on the sides. Alas, Arabian heads do not fit in standard headstalls. I'll have to return it now, I guess, drag!

I was happy to find that when I tried it on Scout with the tags still attached, it didn't phase him a bit. Nada. (He must be growing up. happy dance!) I even bought a matching curb chain but it hangs down past his chin. What size horse are bridles made for, anyway?

Do you have problems getting tack to fit? I have to buy cob or Arab size or it's just too big.
