How do you put a horse bridle together?

Answer 1

Unless you plan on your horse hauling heavy loads I would suggest first making a long girth strap-like thing. Get several metal rings and weave them into a long girth strap. You want the strap to go almost all the way around. The rings should be evenly spaced and five is a good amount and you can play with the harness design. The rings should be big enough to hold the weight you are pulling and small enough that the clip of a dog leash can hook it. For the breast strap, find a sturdy length of material (chair wicking works well) and fasten it to one ring, approximaitly where it should go and fasten a clip or hook to the other end. Then wrap the girth around, hook the breast strap and clip on some dog leashes for traces. Teh extra metal rings can be used for rein guides, martinangle rings, or anything else you can think of. I have been working on a harness for a calf and it's all done except the bridle right now. Be creative and try a lot of different things; belts, material, salvaged tack from garage sales, dog leashes, anything you can think of.

Answer 2

English Saddle First cut a oval shaped piece of felt or leather that fits across there back without going to far down the side of the toy horses back. Cut another long thin oval that goes to about the middle of your toy horses back. glue the small ovall in the middle of the large oval. add a strap to fasten it around your horse. Western saddle Cut out one large rectangle and one small rectangle and glue the small one in the middle of the large one. cut a oval and glue it in the middle of the small rectangle. Cut a short thin strip and roll it up and put a dot of glue on the endto keep it together. The piece should be can shaped but much smaller. Glue it on the front part of the oval and add another strap to secure it on the horse. Now you can make endless saddles!

Bridles can be elaborate or very simple, but they all have certain basic parts that function the same way. Start with the headstall. At this point you can add a browband, this you slip on the headstall before the bit is attached. Once the browband is on you need the throatlatch. How to attatch this will depend on the individual bridle and whether it's English or western. Most English bridles have a keeper for the throatlatch. On western bridles they can be part of the headstall or even will have small D-rings to snap them on. Next is optional on a western bridle. The noseband. The noseband has many uses depending on the type you choose. For English bridles there are Figure-8, flash, dropped, or just a regular cavason that is usually part of all English style bridles. Nosebands for western bridles usually look like a regular cavason with a more 'western' look. Now attatch your bit. The bit connects at both ends of the headstall. Once the bit is on and adjusted put the reins on. Depending on the bit you are using reins can go on the end of shanks on the bit. If you are using a regular English snaffle bit the reins and headstall can be attached to the same ring.

When putting the bridle on the horse remember with snaffle bits you want one 'smile' wrinkle at the corners of the mouth. With western bits that may have longer shanks and a solid mouthpiece or port make sure the bit doesn't clunk on the horse's teeth. The rule of thumb for the throatlatch is on fist between the throat and the throatlatch strap. Keep a bridle path cut at the poll so you get a better, more comfortable fit for the horse.

Answer 4

you will need:

String or Embroidery Thread

Scissors

Method:

Take your String and wrap it around once around the nose tie in a strong knot. DO NOT cut the ends.

Bring the long piece from the knot and wrap it around the ears then back to the nose on the opposite side to the knot. then tie again in a strong knot.

You Can Leave It Here and Cut The Long Ends to Make It Tidy Or Do the Next Step

Go to where the ears are and on one side tie a strong knot

Take around the throat and go to the ears again, tie in a last knot (This makes a throat lash)

Cut the Ends Off

I hope this helps. I am 11 and have been collecting schleich horses for 6 months. I made this method myself and only used basic materials.
