I can't remember the name of the gal at Stablegear, but she made 2 really nice
custom bridles for me. Granted they are simple over-the-ear bridles, but I
needed a custom length of bridle & ear piece to fit my mules nicely. Also,
the guy from Animal Tacker. He made a nice sidepull longe enough to fit my
mules.
I
am currently riding in a zilco add-on halter bridle combo which I really like.
It has always been a little big for my mare and I had to punch extra holes in
it; however, I have recently changed bits and had to punch even more holes in
it and I have tons of extra material now.
I would love to get her custom-sized add-on halter bridle combo. I have tried
this in the past with one vendor and despite my sending carefully taken
measurements from tack that fit her well, neither the halter nor bridle fit. I
had similar problems with the first halter/bridle combo I bought from Sportack
years ago, as I sent in custom measurements for a different mare. Please note
that I followed the vendor's instructions carefully to take good measurements,
so I have no idea what the problem could be (my guess was that in both cases,
my tack was not truly custom-made, but the "closest fitting" off
the rack model was used. So, as you can expect, I'm hesitant to shell
out the money yet again given this past history, as neither of these vendors
allowed returns because the work was custom.
Have any of you had luck with a vendor of custom made tack?
