Quick Keeper
for the Throat Latch on Your Bridle
Have you ever wished there were a
better way to keep the throat latch on your bridle from
falling out or being all on one side when you go to bridle
your horse? This handy quick fix comes to us from Twister
Heller, horse trainer, of Congress, Arizona.
 You
may use a small horseshoe shaped piece of wire or small
staple as a stop for the throat latch. Simply press
or tap the wire firmly into the left side leather of the
throat latch of the bridle. Make sure it is in the correct
spot to keep the brow band square on the horse's face and
resting comfortably in front of the ears and to allow the
throat latch to fasten in the proper position. The throat
latch can't pull up through the brow band and be lop-sided
or worse--lost. The throat latch stays in the right position
every time without readjustment. This comes in particularly
handy if you are riding a series of different horses with
the same headstall.
