Hi Andreas!
I have a couple questions about the double bridles that the School uses for performances:
1. What are the gold colored snaffle reins made of? How do they get the gold color?
2. Why do the double bridles have no throatlash/throatlatch (das ist Kehlriemen auf Deutsch, denke ich)
Here’s something for all of us to think about too: Why do we use the word “throat” in naming that strap (in both English and German) when we fasten it around the horses jaw bone? If anyone knows, please enlighten me! ;-)
Thanks
John
Hi John,
AntwortenLöschen1. The golden snaffle reins are made off leather with a kind of golden fabrik (the same golden strips material like on the Schabracks) suwed on the leather.
2. We don't use a throatlash because it's not nessesary and it looks nicer.
3. The throatlash was originally thightened much thighter in previous times arrond the throat. Seen in carriage driving sometimes.
Golden lace, stitched on a leather rein.

I do not know where SRS-saddler Ali Kanyücel is buying his golden lace.
Is it possible to purchase the curb bit used in the performances w/the medalion?
