I have a little pony inhand bridle like this -

no bit - so used it for my unbitted weanling/yearling. He's been bitted as going to futurity this year so this little bridle is going on preloved/ebay etc etc, but no idea how to describe it? Not a filly slip as far as I'm aware as thought these looked more like a smart leather headcollar with browband. Correct me if I'm wrong!
 
Not a filly slip as such, they're much lighter/narrower and more of a headcollar with a browband than this one and also don't need a coupling behind the jaw to be used as this one does. A Master Saddler sold one to me as an in hand slip, virtually identical to yours and I use a leather coupling to fasten it. I also have a larger size one of these which is great for a small yearling/big foal that doesn't need to be bitted.

That is what I thought. I used it with a leather lead that had the brass chain coupling attched - looked very smart.
