| This enlargement shows how the curb bit is attached to a strap that goes over the horse's head and kept in place with the browband. It could be taken off to allow the horse to drink. The bit has brass bit-bosses of regimental design. A similar badge is worn on the martingale. The white halter rope goes around the horse's neck and was an item that needed cleaning with pipeclay or blanco. |
