Dominican Tack
Take a close look at all of this homemade tack, woven from plant fibers. The ingenuity of the bridle fascinates me. No stirrups, but a girth. My daughter tells me that the riders often ride with no tack at all on the horses.
Look at that spanish head and the way the horse carries his rider. The tack is pretty cool. They sound like truehorseman and horses.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool...
