A Colorado State Penitentiary braided horsehair bridle done in black and natural in the classic style. Hitched buttons and sliders with full tassels. The zig-zag design stands out against the black background. Traditionally decorated with stars and walker engraving on the conchos and buckles. The superb attached Canon City gal leg half-breed bit has engraved inlays and domes to match the bridle hardware. The leather shows age cracking and the horsehair shows very slight age loss.
