Dr. Robert Cook Bitless Bridle Beta Headstall

Dr. Robert Cook Bitless Bridle Beta Headstalls are made of a synthetic material that combines the strength of nylon with the easy care of vinyl. Beta is particularly popular with trail and endurance riders, since the material requires no maintenance and can be subjected to virtually any conditions without being affected. Beta is a leather like synthetic composed of a nylon core with a vinyl coating and is a little heavier than nylon. It is impervious to dirt and sweat, and will give you years of use with no maintenance required. The material stays supple in freezing weather and doesn't dry out or get brittle with age. Beta is durable and easy to clean - just dunk in a bucket of water, swish around and hang to dry. It has a slightly grainy and low-sheen surface, which gives it a leather like appearance. Reins sold separately.

To measure:

Noseband: Measure 1 1/2'' to 2'' up from the corner of the horse's mouth. From that point, measure the circumference of the horse's nose.

Headstall: From the same point (1 1/2'' - 2'' up from the corner of the horse's mouth), run your tape measure to the very top of the poll (to the point right between the ears) and double that measurement number. This will determine the size headstall your horse needs.
