This pic was part of an article about Cozmic One. I dig the bridle. A quick Google around looking at racing tack didn’t pull up anything like this…anyone know who is selling something along these lines?
It’s just a racing headstall with a flash noseband and loop reins. A lot of times they are all sold separately.

Etc.
Lol I clearly was NOT googling the right thing (even though I swear to god horse racing headstall was one of my terms!) I just could NOT get to a split crown in leather.
Thank you!!!
Um excuse me why aren’t all browbands like that??? I’ve always hated the throat latch sharing the hole in the browband with the crown piece.
I have an old Dobert dressage bridle that has that split head and browband set up. And just the one set of buckles. Really nice.
Tack Shack of Ocala added the nosebands that go with their bridle to the website

Without a flash:
I also found this Danzig Bros one but the site is pretty mmmmm suspicious looking?

I think that would require calling, haha.
I also had a dressage bridle like that about 40 years ago and it was the nicest bridle I have ever owned. It was marked but very faint so I was never able to identify it. Passier was a guess but who knows. I loved that bridle.
I’ve seen a few old school Stubbens with a split crown/brow and they are lovely! Minimal buckles and they seem to stay put. eBay and some local consignment stores can have some awesome deals!
