Bridle for horses

The invention relates to a bridle for horses, consisting of two cheek parts, each of which can be fastened to a bit ring, which in their upper areas each merge into a common neck part and are connected to one another by a forehead part and of which at least one cheek part is designed to be adjustable in length.

The bridles known to date are made from leather or textile straps and consist of two cheek pieces that can be attached to the bit rings and that merge into a common neck piece in their upper area. In the upper area of the two cheek pieces, they are connected to one another by a forehead piece. Normally at least one cheek piece is designed to be adjustable in length. If necessary, a throat piece can also be attached. These individual parts of the bridle are connected to one another by rings, buckles, hooks, eyelets and/or rivets, which requires a relatively high manufacturing effort. The metal parts of the bridle in particular can have a detrimental effect on the horse.

The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a bridle for horses which can be manufactured in a simple and inexpensive manner and which, what is particularly important, does not require any metal parts.

To solve this problem, according to the invention, it is proposed in a bridle of the type described at the beginning that the cheek parts, the neck part and the forehead part are made of a hollow, braided rope, that the cheek parts can be tied to the bit ring via a band-like element and that the forehead part is guided displaceably on the cheek parts via eyelets formed by splicing.

A bridle of this type requires relatively little effort to manufacture. As there are no metal parts, the bridle is particularly skin-friendly.

Further features of a bridle according to the invention are disclosed in claims 2 and 3.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in a drawing.

This drawing shows a bridle made of a braided rope made of cotton, hemp or synthetic fibers. The bridle shown on the head of a horse consists of two cheek pieces 1, of which only the front cheek piece 1 can be seen in the drawing. This cheek piece 1 consists of a hollow rope, which is pulled inwards at its lower end by a predetermined amount, so that the hollow space in the rope is filled over a predetermined length. In this area, a band-like element 2 forming a loop is connected to the cheek piece 1, which can be pulled through the holes 3 in the lower area, which are only indicated.

of the jaw part 1. The two jaw parts 1 can be attached easily, safely and, above all, in a short time using this band-like element 2. For this attachment, a strap can be pulled through the holes 3, for example, which is then knotted from the outside.

In the embodiment shown, the front cheek part 1 ends in the middle area of the horse's head in an eyelet 5, which is made from the braided, hollow rope by appropriate splicing. A further cheek part 1 is connected to this eyelet 5 by a knot 6, which in its upper area merges into a neck part 7. This neck part 7 merges directly into the rear cheek part 1 on the back of the horse's head, i.e. neither an eyelet 5 nor a knot 6 is provided on the back of the horse's head. Thus, the rear cheek part 1, the neck part 7 and the cheek part 1a are formed in one piece and made from a hollow, braided rope.

In the transition area from the cheek parts 1 and 1a to the neck part 7, a forehead part 8 is provided, which is also made of a hollow, braided rope. At both ends of this forehead part 8, an eyelet is spliced

9, through which the rear jaw part 1 and the front jaw part la are guided. This makes it possible to adjust the height of the front part 8. In the illustrated embodiment, a throat part is also formed by the eyelet 9.

10, which in its upper part runs almost parallel to the poll part 7, in the throat area below the horse's head and is closed by a knot 11. This

This throat part 10 normally has a smaller cross-section than the cheek parts 1, 1a, the poll part 7 and the forehead part 8. It also consists of a braided rope made of cotton, hemp or synthetic fibers.
