Does anyone know where I can get an accurate Western bridle for the Millenium horse? The Western saddle does not come with a bridle and the only bridle Daz has is an English bridle. No self-respecting Western rider would be caught dead in a Western saddle with an English bridle, LOL!!!! Thanks

What about that? I don't know anything about horses, but it looks like the pictures I found in Google when I searched "Western Bridle"

I have that bridle and saddle. They fit well and are easy to pose. I think there are some free textures for it in the DAZ free archives, too.

Also see the Western Rider Action poses. Poses include rider, horse, saddle, and bridle.

Here in the US, Western bridles do not have that dropped noseband or any noseband. They have just a browband or more often a one-ear band. They are very simple compared to an English bridle. The Mil Horse bridle is something you might train a very young horse in, but never ride a trained adult horse in Western. The bit is called a snaffle, and is normally an English bit or a Western training bit. I have attached some Western bridle pics. You can all go look at [www.statelinetack.com](http://www.statelinetack.com)  I was looking for a one ear. The reins for a Western horse are always split - unless he is in training. In the US, anyway. The two sides of the reins are never buckled together accept in English bridles.

You ride Western with both reins in one hand - never two hands. English is two hands. I know because I have shown both for years.

That is if you are using split reins... many people use braided reins with a romel ... reins held in left hand... romel in left hand. I never liked split reins myself... always wanted something to do with my right hand.

Maybe you are going to have to settle for a snaffle bit horse.... get you a cow and do a little stock horse instead of pleasure horses:)

I modeled a macate and saddle for the old Poser horse that I still have.  When the mill horse came out I modeled a nice split ear headstall with a little roller bit.  I have no idea where the files are. I think I lost them when my old computer decided to take a long vacation that it has never returned from. I still get sick when I think of how much stuff I lost:(

You are right, Ed, about the bosel. I always rode Western Pleasure with the split reins, but I learned to ride in an English saddle jumping, so I know what you mean about the split reins. A real shame you lost those models. I just had to reformat my drive but I learned my lesson in the past and had everything backed up on an external hard drive.

I need to post a new pic of my Pinto Buddy. He has grown a hand since I got him a year ago. He's gorgeous.

Well the western bridle have morphs to remove the noseband.

But what I want is some good looking wester bits and fantasy bits. Not just rings :P

It seems like the Daz animals are ignored after they have been out awhile. Not much new for them at all.

I've not tried fitting them to the mil horse..but I'm pretty sure there were some westen style bridles produced for the old P4 horse..check in the freebies for stuff by "Horsefeathers'" He did a lot of freebie tack for the P4 horse..it may still be available and useable ?

The Horsefeathers downloads contained a link to the persons site, which appears to be gone. I think she had only English stuff and poses.

Here is an image showing those bits I have...I have not included normal rings bite. Please observe I have not made the rest of the bridle fit MilHorse, I have just place the bite in mouth.Each bite have a number and then text that on information on what bite I have used. I have not include the spanish tack package from daz neither.
