Meet Will


This is the absolute sweetest horse in the world but Hollywood makes him wear the heaviest bridle. What do you think - should I hide the bridle?

If Will is happy then who are we to complain...
I went on my uncles horse for the last sheep round up, the bridle consisted of a very very thin piece of leather from the bit over her ears, the thing underneath the chin was a piece of string.. sorry for the fact I don´t have the technical term for these things, but as my uncle said - this is Jörp's bridle and this is what she is used to - live with it...

It does look a little uncomfortable and is probably sweaty in the summer. But I'm not getting in the middle of this one, you're on your own if you want to hide it.

It looks kinda regal on Will. Not many horses could pull off wearing that bridle!

Sure is a mighty fine looking pony there!

Never, ever, get between a mother and a daughter; never, ever, get between a man and his horse.

Bridle looks good, but it might make his head look more coarse than it really is.

I'm staying out of it too... but my choice is a hackamore.

The pony has the sweetest head and can get away with wearing about anything. If Hollywood is going for vintage, it looks good. Perhaps he could have a smaller, thinner look for going to town?

I think it looks great! You couldn't put that bridle on just any horse!

Great pic!

I don't know, I like my accessories big. (Including my horse tack). If he can pull it off why not?

It's a great pic...Will seems to be fine with the bridle...I like the style and he looks good to me...but, if Hollywood likes it, leave it ;~)

Maybe you can convince your man to just ride bareback and bitless instead. lol!

Probably better not meddle, unless you're riding that handsome horse instead.

Good lookin' duo, I'd say. The thick look is 'IN' but something a little more refined would really make that ol pony sizzle!
But like they say- " Ya don't ride the head." :)
