Ollie's New Bridle/Frisky Sherman

Today I went and got my bridle. It just so happened that the bridle that I wanted was not in stock, so I ended up buying a different one. I also got Ollie a new girth because his former one was too big. I had to take apart the bridle to put in the bit he used, but besides that everything went well. Of course, I had to get pictures!!!

It needs to be oiled so that it will be flexible, but I think it is beautiful!!

Afterwards, I needed to clean the stalls, so I let Sherman and Ollie out of the pen they have been cooped up in for the past two days. Ollie wasn't very frisky but Sherman sure was. Here are a few pictures that I got of him. 

(It was also foggy, cold, and frosty, so Sherman's energy was up already). 

Do you have treats???

Bridleless

So, because I don't have extra money to spend on beautiful bridles and saddle sets which are lavish and beautifully made by tack makers, I decided to to buy this set, too give a try at a performance entry in MEPSA (Model Equine Photo Showers Association).

I love this horse....and the one I saw had (has) a great paintjob. So, I  bought it, went home and looked at pictures of a proper english bridle.



Though the styles varied for the different sports and breeds.....




They all had they correct parts that they needed.



However...

 The Breyer bridle seems to lack some of these parts.

 Even this one! But it definitely isn't as bad as the one on my beloved Stage mom mold, Theodora. I have decided to not even try the performance entry...and I think saving some money for a nice bridle by a good tack-maker won't be such a money-spender after all. : D

Till then,

P.S. I almost forgot......

Favorite horse of the week!
