Do you recognise this tack brand?

Hi All,

I'm hoping there is a tack genius out there to help me!

I've got hold of a rather ancient leather bridle and bit. The leather seems to be proper English leather, although it's VERY dry due to being in someone's tack box for the last few years!

It has a round, black emblem on it with a silver rim and a silver outlined 'R' shape. The 'R' shape has a wavy line running along the top of it. My husband sees the whole shape as a horse's face.

No luck with internet searches so far....

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks very much!

Definately Robinson's ..The design has changed now to the word Requisite on an oval badge.

But it used to be a black circle outlined in silver, with the letter 'R' in silver forming a horses head

Cool, thanks!

I won't make too much effort to revive it then.....

Soak it in Flexalan or something like that, it may restore.

Thanks for the advice. It's actually come up really nicely with good old neatsfoot oil followed by saddle soap. I'm quite proud of it now
