Montana Deer Lodge Prison Made Horse Hair Bridle
Featured in this lot we have a hand crafted hitched horse hair bridle and reins originating from the Montana State Deer Lodge Prison from the early 1900's. The bridle and reins are not braided, but rather "hitched" which is a more tedious and an advanced craft. The piece features a wonderful Western design with black and white geometric designs. The bridle headstall is designed and used for horse showing or parades with its exquisite designs. The piece shows wonderful hand dyed and natural colored horse hair (possibly with a mixture of nylon). The bridle shows good condition overall with little to no wear. The piece measures 106" long overall with the headstall measuring 20" long.
