Contributing Member barra Posted June 9, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted June 9, 2007 G'day all. I was just wondering if anyone has measurent guides and/or resources to find patterns for various tack, eg. headstalls, breastplates etc. Any assistance would be appreciated. Barra Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted June 9, 2007 Moderator Report Posted June 9, 2007 Barra, For breast collars, my standard length is 36" from tip of the ring to tip of the ring. I sometimes will make some up a bit shorter, down to 32" for colts or some saddles that have the attachment points pretty far out there. My headstalls vary depending on use and head size. Personally I don't like a lot of excess length flopping around the side of their face. My crown pieces vary from 26 to 32 inches depending. My cheek pieces start off as 16", and then are shortened by the bit end and buckle end folds. Browband stays pretty constant. I make them 13-1/2 for the "inside" measurement, and then allow for the crown and throatlatch widths after that. Quote

Members gesa Posted June 13, 2007 Members Report Posted June 13, 2007 I found this picture I made for a friend several years ago, who wanted to make a halter for his arab.That is why the description is a bit like a letter. I hope it is useful for you too. It is a bit blurry, but if you have a programm to zoom in it is readable.......I hope Gesa Quote
