First off, I'm sorry if this is the wrong sub to post this, I'm out of my element haha
My girlfriend not-so-subtly left a folder with links to things she's hoping to get for her birthday/Christmas. One of the things she listed is a Nathe Flexible Loose Ring Snaffle (link: https://www.smartpakequine.com/pt/nathe-flexible-loose-ring-snaffle-7154) in the 5 1/8" size. I cannot seem to find that size ANYWHERE. Can anyone help me, or at least point me towards a reputable online tack shop? It's out of stock until mid 2018 on the site she listed. If anything, is there anything that's equivalent or better than what she listed? Or am I just out of luck?
Thanks in advance!

This is what i have so far.
