[haflingerfriends] Re: Haflinger characteristics/ bits & boots

Is this normal? What sizes do other folks here use in bits and boots?

My haffie Atlantis uses a 6" to 6 1/2" bit. I knew the 5-5 1/2" one was looking funny and not fitting properly so I got out a string and measured his mouth. One of my friends told me I was crazy that there was no way he would use that big a bit. LOL But the measurements don't lie. I don't think he is big headed. I think there is a head picture under the photo album Atlantis EHF and Dusty.
As for boots I am not sure exactly what size he would wear-when I last measured his hooves one was 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 and the other front hoof was 5 x 4 1/2. Needless to say they need shaped up. So going by those off the wall measurements he would fit into an 00easyboot-a 3 Simpleboot.
