The reason for cheeks being shorter than in the case of ordinary 

 snaffle bridles is on account of large ring bits being used ; while 

 it is always desirable in making bridles for the above purpose to 

 give a good length of rein, exceeding rather than being under the 

 above measurements. 



When ordinary snaffle bridles are being fitted with large ring 

 bits the cheeks should be made proportionately shorter. 



NOSEBANDS FOR RIDING BRIDLES. 



In addition to the narrow, stitched nosebands (which are passed 

 through the openings left specially for the purpose), others of a 

 different and sometimes broader kind are frequently used, and 

 therefore a few particulars about some of them will help to make 

 this section of the Guide more complete.
