How to correctly fit your Zilco Marathon Bridle and convert from Bridle to Halter

The browband should sit flat across the horse's face, neither pulling the headpiece forward or sagging. The headpiece should sit comfortably just behind the horse's ears. The throatlash should be loose enough to allow a hand's depth inserted easily, any tighter can impair breathing and movement. The buckles for the cheekpiece and noseband should sit in line with the horse's eye. The Cavesson-style noseband should sit 2cm below the horse's cheekbones and 2 fingers should be able to be inserted under the straps. The cheekpieces should hold the bit level with 1-2 creases on the horse's lip to make sure the bit is high enough in the mouth but not too tight The type of bit chosen and ring size will affect the length of cheekpiece required. The bridle is easily adjusted for a perfect fit with buckles in a variety of locations. To convert to a simple halter, unclip the two cheek pieces and carefully remove the bit. It can also be replaced by carefully raising the horse's bit into the mouth, as when putting on a standard bridle, and re-attaching the two side clips.
