Reins and bridle

This piece is used by the Gaucho for horse riding. The cabezada, a piece identified by intertwined braids forming a knot in its centre, is placed on the horse's head, with this knot centered on the horse's forehead. The riendas, or longer braids, are the essential part which the rider (Gaucho) holds in their hands to ride and guide the horse's direction.
