Bridle VAQUERO CLASICO

Description

Spanish snaffle in traditional Vaquero style

A classic Vaquero bridle through and through: the browband is equipped with the typical Mosquero - the decorative leather fringes, which also serve as fly protection. In addition, the piñas, the pine cone-shaped applications made of leather, as well as the colour-contrasting decorative stitching make it an eye-catcher. The noseband traditionally runs through the bit straps of the bridle. The throatlatch, which is usually functionless anyway, is omitted from the Spanish snaffle - for as little leather as possible on the horse's head. Due to the circumferential crownpiece, with only one separate cheek piece, the bridle also manages with a minimum of buckles. The buckles are underlaid with leather so that they do not rest directly on the horse's skin.

Includes smooth leather reins with sliding leather loop. The reins are flat stitched at the end, with a fixed leather loop, as well as piñas and decorative stitching.

The Spanish bridle is handmade in Spain. Made of brown, vegetable-tanned cowhide with black buckles of burnished iron. Without throatlatch.

Size & fit of the bridle VAQUERO CLASICO

The Spanish bridle is made in the Iberian one size - perfect for the long and narrow heads of the Iberian breeds, such as PRE, Andalusian horse or Lusitanos. In our experience the Spanish bridle fits most horses with Full size - for Cob heads it is usually too big. The length of all straps can be found in our size guide (see above).

Care instructions for burnished iron

Rust forms on traditional burnished products or product components after some time. This is due to natural oxidation processes and is not a quality defect, but an essential characteristic of this material. To maintain the dark color, it is recommended to occasionally rub the parts in question with a cloth soaked in olive oil.
