HOW TO TACK UP A HORSE - Part one - Grackle Bridle - ft. Amber Major

A super quick five minute video where Amber Major Eventing shows us how she puts on her OTTB's grackle bridle.
Filmed on the coldest day in history, we take a little look at how to put your horse's bridle on safely and correctly. The sound/light isn't the best... but hopefully you'll get the idea! Part two will be how to put a saddle on correctly... and will be posted next week. Amber is using her bridle, a Henry James Saddlery grackle bridle - with a yummy scrummy comfort headpiece. Grackle bridles have many benefits, and are now dressage legal. And the Henry James ones are made beautifully too.
