Now for some real horse problems

[Caol Ila]

Foinavon is sporting his amazing medieval bridle like a star, but we have a problem. The reins, borrowed from Gypsum's normal bridle, don't match at all! It's a fashion disaster. I was wondering if the HHO hivemind could help me source some blingy reins which would add to the general look of very tacky bling. If you're gonna go for it, you got to commit (and yes, please ignore the noseband on the Myler combination bit. It's not there).

Ideally, they won't cost nearly as much as the bridle. My own Googling, so far, has not found the jackpot.

Red rope.

Bling (choose colour of the sparkles).

I can't do images because I'm new to all this actually posting stuff, but I found someone on Etsy that does personalised colours in braided Paracord https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/825...arch_query=red+reins&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&col=1

I feel the red and gold would really suit his bridle

No idea but I absolutely LOVE that bridle ?????

Lots of colours to choose from?

You need matchy matchy Scoot straps too. ?

 

[quizzie]

You could always wrap the myler noseband in vet wrap in the colour of your choice to match or contrast?!

by the time you are finished you will be a dazzling spectacle

Or make it (the noseband) a leather sleeve - suitable-looking bits of leather here

Clearly, you need to make your own rein covers.

After that, a full caparison.

Speak to Zoe at Pioneer (and send those photos) and she will make something to match perfectly.

Ooh I'm liking these reins

Yep!!

 

[Caol Ila]

Some good ideas there!

I haven't seen Cortez about for a wee while. Hope she's alright.
