Fancy Stitched Raised Sorry for asking this like 10x!?
But I still don't understand the difference between a square raised bridle and all other types of bridles (i.e. plain & fancy raised). I have seen pics and everything and it looks like a fancy raised bridle?
Also, is a fancy raised bridle the same as a fancy stitched bridle? I've heard of both. And to my understanding they both just have fancy stitching.
OH HAHA OMG I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT. NOW I COMPLETLY GET IT! LOL
Ok, I will try to explain the differences, I couldn't find any good links that showed the bridles close enough to actually tell the differece. A plain bridle is just that, plain, not raised on the noseband or browband, and no stitching designs on either. Fancy stitched is ususally a plain bridle with a fancy stitched design on the front of the noseband and browband. A fancy, raised bridle has the stitch design on the noseband and browband and the noseband and browband are raised slightly in a curved manner (basically a more rounded appearance). A raised bridle is the same as the fancy, raised bridle, but without the stitched design. A square raised bridle is the same as a raised bridle, but the raised part on the noseband and browband is more square than rounded. The difference is hard to tell from a distance, but up close, you can tell. A rolled bridle is one where the noseband and browband are round and there is no flat surface against the horse. Hope this helps, will continue to look for decent pics to show the difference.
