Bridle VAQUERO CLASICO

Spanish snaffle in the 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 leather applications and contrasting decorative stitching make it an eye-catcher. The noseband runs traditionally through the bridle's bit straps. A throatlatch, which is usually non-functional anyway, is not used on the Spanish bridle - to minimize the amount of leather on the horse's head. Thanks to the all-round crownpiece, with only one separate cheek piece, the bridle also requires a minimum of buckles. The existing buckles are lined with leather so that they do not come into direct contact with the horse's skin.

Including smooth leather reins with adjustable 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 from brown, vegetable-tanned cowhide with black buckles made from burnished iron. Without throatlatch.

Care instructions for burnished iron

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