Not only is this bridle easy and fun to make, but it is great for gaming entries or entries in which the rider is dismounted.
For this tutorial you will need beading pliers, and wire snippers, scissors, and some wire of the same gauge as what you use for buckles.
We will make the cheekpieces first.
Repeat for the other side...
Make the curb piece, to get a good length measurement lay the piece about 2 centimeters from the tip of your models nose. The rings you made on the sides should clear the sides of the horses face.
Lastly for wire pieces, make the nose piece, there is no particular measurement for this, it should fit comfortably over the bridge of the horses nose. BUT, do not bend it to fit the horses nose exactly! In real life this would be extremely painful, for model purposes it should be bent in a U shape that is loosely fitting.
Now snap it all together! Use your pliers to bend out the end of the wire in the loop, so you can slip the loop of another piece in to the ring.
(The nosepiece rings go into the second hole on the cheekpieces.)
Don't forget that curb strap!
Now for the finishing touch, wrap the nosepiece in coban or vetwrap.
Add a headstall and reins and your done!
