"I would like to purchase one of the John Lyons bits but I was wondering what size it comes in"

 
 

Dear Keith...

Friday, June 8, 2007

The bit I currently have for my horse is a five inch Fulmer full cheek snaffle, I would like to purchase one of the John Lyons bits because my trainer let me borrow her's and my horse accepts it a lot better. But, I was wondering what size it comes in, since there are no measurements to choose from on the order page. Thank You
