Description | Horse bridle made from white, black, and red, braided horsehair. Cheek piece colors are arranged in two patterns- either a central stripe of red flanked by thin stripes of white with thick black borders or a central stripe of white flanked by thin stripes of red with thick black borders. The browband, noseband, and headstall each have a reinforced band of striped horsehair with the pattern perpendicular to the cheek piece pattern. The reins are attached at the lower end of the cheekpieces with black loops and small, striped balls. The reins have sections of black and white woven in "V" patterns, reinforcing bands of red and white, and both white and black tassels. The throatlatch straps also have white and black tassels but only at the ends. |
