Portuguese bridles

The Portuguese bridle on the left hand side of the above image is adapted from a print from 1790 included in the book “Luz da Liberal, e Nobre Arte da Cavallaria ” by Manoel Carlos de Andrade which is a record from the Portuguese bridles in use at the time. The Portuguese bridle on the right hand side of the above image is a bridle made nowadays. Both have traditional Portuguese buckles. Today the traditional Portuguese bridles such as the Portuguese bridle and the Baroque bridle are made in a very similar way to the XVIII century models. These bridles are handmade in Portugal and most of the materials are the same as the ones used at the time. Apart from these models Portuguese innovation on saddle-making has also developed combined models such as the combined Portuguese-English bridles and the combined Portuguese-German bridle. The Portuguese bridles below are from the Lusitano brand and you can follow the links to find more information about them.
