who wants a lovely little horse to loan? and what bit is this?

[Bowen4Horses]

hi all

whilst lazily browsing some ads whilst chilling on the sofa i stumbled across a lovely little horse for loan that i thought deserved sharing with you all... in case there was someone out there who'd love him.

also, what bit is he in? double reins, so presumed it was a double, but it doesn't look like one...?

Isn't he in a pelham with roundings? If so, that would explain the double reins.

Can't tell from the pic at all but a swales maybe??

Only guessing!

I can't see clearly enough (makes note to get eyes tested) but surely if it was a pelham with roundings there would only be ONE rein?

Ditto my thoughts!

Unless they meant them extra long roundings, making it look like 2 reins at the bottom?

I can't quite see properly, but wouldn't be surprised if it's a Rugby pelham.

 

[Bowen4Horses]

yeah, roundings would = one rein wouldn't they?

also, i don't think it's a pelham, as the snaffle rein starts so high up... perhaps it's a double with a lot of pulling on the bridoon (sp?) rein?

anyhoo, not important, just will someone please have him. i heart him. x

ah, maybes, are they the ones with the loose ring top bit? looks more like a double than normal pelham? i think i know what you mean. you could well be right.

cute horsey though eh? xx

I think it's double, but the weymouth has very short shanks.
She's got both reins under 1 finger, so they look like one.

haha as you say, not important, but looks like a double to me with a short shanked curb Cute horse though.

ETA great minds, Janette

it looks like a globe weymouth with a bridoon and double reins.

Absolutely YUMMY horse! And they look like split reins, ie 2 reins spliced into 1 to be more easily managable.
