...I missed the shoe gene, and apparently have a thing about bridles.

This one was listed on sale in the tack store's flyer for much less than this price, and after some mental struggling (not nearly enough mental struggling) I went ahead and bought it in the cob size. The cheapo English bridle I got last fall, when I thought Lease Girl was going to be riding Mitzi soon, is not bad but since it's full-sized it turns out the noseband is going to be a problem. I got this one in the smaller "Cob" size and it fits fine. Right now I'm working on conditioning the leather, but I've already tried it on Mitzi and she looks adorable.

Well, of course she does!

And pictures will eventually follow!
