EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up image showcases a fine brown horse adorned with intricate tack from the bygone era of the 1910s. The horse's ears are perked forward in alertness, as it gazes off to the side, seemingly unfazed by the array of equipment adorning its noble head. At the heart of this equine portrait lies an exquisite double bridle, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The bridle consists of a browband, two sets of reins, and two bits - a pelham and a snaffle. The pelham bit, with its curved chains and large rings, is designed to apply pressure to the horse's poll and sides of the mouth, while the snaffle bit, with its simple mouthpiece and cheek pieces, targets the horse's bars and corners of the mouth. The curved chain of the pelham bit is intricately linked to the bridle, forming a harmonious connection between the horse and the rider. The reins, made of supple leather, are held in the rider's hands, allowing for precise communication and control. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of equestrianism, where the bond between horse and rider was strengthened by the meticulous care and attention given to the horse's wellbeing and training. The intricate design of the tack, the horse's attentiveness, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow all combine to create a timeless image that continues to captivate and inspire.
