A fine and colorful hitched horsehair bridle from the Rawlins, Wyoming Prison. Double round cheeks with flat brow and nose bands, braided calfskin straps and transitional knots. A break in the leather top loop and a missing face knot, but otherwise a fine example. Wonderful colors in a diamond and cross X design. Attached is an early period chased "Kissing Birds" iron bit by August Buermann with matching split reins decorated with 16 calfskin knots.
Item Dimensions: 21" L.
