Indian-made using red, white and blue-dyed horsehair. Incorporating both spiral and zig-zag designs in the hitching, multiple colors in the braided elements. The tassels are attached in the center with a hair burst rosette. The colors are indicative of the traditional Native made bridles. The rosette is another indication of its Indian manufacture. The bright yellow and orange tassels indicate the Florence, Arizona origin of the bridle pieces.
