Found my old shires bridle(pics)

[michelleice]

Was having a dig out and came across my Rocky's bridle, not seen it in over 4 yrs! its gone green colour as it was oiled regularly when he was alive, we used it on the cart when we did fates/ Xmas parades. Any one know how to restore it to its formal glory?

Anyone had one like this?

tops are missing as we have 7 we used to use they just screw on

is it safe for brass/steel?

yerp... use it on all our old tack. just rub it in good and proper and then leave it to dry. and maybe to touch up on the brass ect use brasso or something.

This is the stuff. It's very good, especially for old dry tack.
We used to use it on our harnesses. Our local tackshops sell it for about £5. It's not too hard to come by if you know what you're looking for.
