Here are pictures of the group Comitatus wearing the Straubing Chamfrons I made some time back, these horses appear to be about 15 hands height and the chamfrons tend to fit without any problems even looking a bit small for them, however most of the Straubing pieces are in the region of 40cm to 43cm in length the Vindolanda and the Trimontium leather ones that I have also made not counting the pole piece were about 40cm length
I would think looking at the horse John Conyard has shown could wear the Vindolanda or the Trimontium leather pieces very well indeed. I do wonder if in fact the tribes of the northern regions could have also had such larger animals in Roman times.
