In a bridle, and in combination with the extensions D, blinds F, and side straps A, the screw, nut and washer E, to secure the blind and allow it to be set, substantially as herein described. 4. In a bridle, and in combination with the check- pieces D and blinds F, as shown, the straps or bands G andH, connecting the branches or extensions above and below the eyes, and having the adjusting slides or buckles, substantially as and for the purpose herein described. 5. In a bridle, and in combination with the blinds F, supported and pivoted to the bridle so as to be movable about the point of support, the adjustable front straps or bands G and H, and the rear band I and the throat- latch or lash connected with the blinds, and adjustable, substantially as herein described. The above are the claims allowed by the patent office, and though the corresponding letters do not appear on the cut, the general principle will be understood. It meets with universal approbation, doing away with all the objections urged against blinds, and at the same time giving complete control of the line of vision. Bv throwing the lower portion of the blind up some- thing of the same effect on the action follows as is in- duced by toe-weights. This is especially the case when young colts are the pupils, teaching them to bend the knee without the strain of weights on the feet. For bridles of all descriptions apply
