Can someone tell me what bridle this is? Thanks!!

Why not message the poster? It’s so faraway that I can’t tell more than snaffle with no reins.

I’m not exactly sure, but I know Pessoa had an inset noseband style like that for awhile (but not in that color; I’m willing to bet that photo may have been set to grayscale other than the muzzle and hooves). There have probably been others as well, but I only remember the Pessoa one.

Here’s a slightly better photo of what I assume is the same bridle: https://z-p42.www.instagram.com/p/CF5U1fDH6Lg/

It looks similar to the Red Barn Sonoma with the skinny raised part and the stitching crossing near the cheekpiece, but not exact.

I looks to me like a Richard Castelow bridle. They are beautiful and very common in Wellington

Valencia Saddlery bridles are also made in partnership with him so if he has a long wait, you may want to reach out to them.

Yep, it’s a Richard’s
