I contacted Janie last night and she is now referring to this product by its proper name of "lunging cavesson."
She said "But it's a halter with rings on the nose!" and I replied, "I know, but in big horses it is worn under a bridle in place of the normal cavesson so a green horse can work off the noseband. People who want a nice one like this are going to be looking for it as a 'lunging cavesson' and if you label it as a 'lunging halter' you aren't going to come up when they do a web search." Ah, marketing.
She's going to be making a flier next week for it and some other new products and she'll put the measurements for the A- and B-sized models on the flier.
For those who don't know, the jowl strap on a lunging cavesson should properly be midway up the cheeks as it is on this model because that keeps the strap from being pulled into the horse's eye should the noseband twist across the face under pressure.

PLEASE share your details here, not just in a PM.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no problem listing company names and links -- just with other forums -- how dreadful it would be if we couldn't share important information. We all want to know about what looks like an excellent product, and PMs limit who gets to learn.
The official forum rule is as follows:
"ADVERTISING/SOLICITATION - Posting for the sake of advertising is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, transportation posts, and wanted posts. Posts directing LB traffic to other online auctions, sale boards. forums, and/or interactive Miniature horse sites without permission/agreement will also be removed. Second offence of this violation may result in being banned from further use of the LB Miniature Horse Forums/Sale Boards/LB-LC Auction and other public places on the LilBeginnings.com web site."
So no links to auction sites, sale boards, forums or other "competing" websites but links to specific products on vendor websites as part of another post are probably okay.
I don't think PMing limits who gets to learn unless it's limiting it to those who are interested enough to write the poster a note!
Still, it's so much more convenient to put it in the main message.
