[Niamhy]

A fairly narrow one, not a big chunky one!!

[xxkarenxx]

I may have one Niamh. I'll have a look when I get home this evening.

[Niamhy]

I know there are at least 2 at the yard, but I cant for the life of me find them!

[storm]

I had a look at home N but the chunky one at the yard is the only one I have!

[Karnon316]

I have a fairly thin one at home but not sure if it's a 5 or 5.5

used to use it on my old TB mare

I'll check tonight for you

[EvojeepGal]

Not sure where your located but Homestead had a box of them last week for 5/10euro only...

[Niamhy]

[EvojeepGal]

[Alibear]

okay :) i have the usually found thick snaffle thats available in most tack shops on himself but these were too thin in his mouth, but i see from the pic above what your looking for and yup they'd be too thick, hope you find one :nod:

[Napoles]

N, you might be able to get the bridoon bit of a double bridle?? They are generally thinner - I have a few at home on my doubles and they sound more like what you are describing. They're not hollow mouth though.. not sure if you wanted that or not.

[xxkarenxx]

Sorry Niamh, I checked and the one I have has a lozenge in the middle.

Niamhy i definately have a thin one like that - its defo a 5 but could be a little bigger,, will be in yard this afternoon to measure it for you :nod:

[Niamhy]

Ohh thanks FD!!!

K - Thanks for looking!

N - The bridoon is a good idea, my one is tiney tiny though, would look silly on its own!

[busbybabe]

Niamhy, any luck? If not i might have one down the back of the shed somewhere. I'll try pull it out the weekend...

[Niamhy]

It actually measures a 5 1/2 but it fitted fine, all Sallys other bits were a 5 but i needed this one in a bigger size. Your welcome to try it
