How Do You Measure a Bosal?

Hold the side buttons at 4 inches inside.

While keeping them at that width, measure the length from the inside of the nose button to the inside of the heel knot.

The diameters designated (3/4 inch, 5/8ths, 1/2, 3/8ths) are measuring the bars of the body, not the nose button.

Metric conversion:

1 inch		2.54 cm
3/4 inch		1.9 cm (19 mm)
5/8 inch		1.59 cm (16 mm)
1/2 inch		1.27 cm (13 mm)
3/8 inch		.95 cm (10 mm)
4 inches		10 cm
10 inches		25.4 cm
10.5 inches		26.7 cm
11 inches		28 cm
11.5 inches		29.2 cm
12 inches		30.5 cm
12.5 inches		31.7 cm
