If your horse is not a standard
size, please use the following guideline for measuring.
When you receive the mask, please check the size and fit immediately
and contact us if you have issues.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Most horses wear normal
head gear, sizing shouldn't be a problem, If your horse has trouble
fitting into standard bridles or halters, this guideline is intended
to help you measure. Since it can be difficult to measure a horse,
we do understand and can usually determine size by height and breed,
feel free to give us a call or email
guardianmaskrep@aol.com, and we
can help you with this process. Some horses have very wide eye sets
and some horses have very large jaws. These are the horses we
usually need to double check size on, remember, if you can buy an
over the counter bridle or halter, then fit, shouldn't be a problem.
If you need to order a custom
mask, please call direct 512.756.0320 US Central Standard Time.
Step 1
- Measure from the very center of your horses right eye lens
(pupil), across the forehead to the very center of the left eye lens
(pupil). It is recommended to use a cloth tape measure.
Step 2
- Measure again from the very center of your horses right eye lens
(pupil), down and under the throat latch and back up to the very
center of the left eye lens (pupil).

Step 3
- Measuring height. We hand manufacture the Guardian Horse
Mask products in the USA, and we use "Hands High" or "hh" as our basic
horse height measuring method. The easiest way to measure is to purchase
an inexpensive horse measuring tape that is found in most tack stores or
agriculture shops that have livestock supplies.
Since we do sell our products globally, many countries use metrics for
measuring. Please use the conversion table to calculate the
measurement in "Hands High".
