Description

Aurch, finally! I was supposed to do this a while ago, but I've been so busy with other things that I needed to finish first, so I've sort of been post-poning it forever, haha. WILL I EVER CATCH UP ON ALL THE STUFF I HAVE TO FINISH? D8

Anyway, as promised, some suggestions for traditional Zlesdin halter tack fir those who wish to show their Zlesdins in some Zlesdin-esque tack! :dummy:

------


Here goes a few quick QandA's:

Who can use these?
Zlesdin horses. We have a group right here~
:iconzlesdin:

Do I have to use one of these for my Zlesdin in a halter class?
Of course not; you're free to show off your horse in whatever tack you like c:

When do I use the traditional and when do I use the ceremonial tack?
That's entirely up to you! Traditionally the ceremonial tack is for special occasions, but shows are pretty special, no? ^^  It's a matter of your own personal preference.

Which one do you use for showing your horses, Zoub?
So far I've been using 'modern'.

Are there any rules about colours for tassels and such?
Not aside from that which was mentioned on the sheet, so you can just use your stable colours or whatever you think goes with the horse in question c:  Each colour traditionally holds a significance, but I might go into those details on another occasion. Just pick the colours you like. You don't have to use gold for the metal parts either; silver/copper/whatever is also accepted =)

Any guidelines for the patterns on the 'mask' in the ceremonial tack?
Nope, just go crazy! The one showcased here is pretty elaborate (I love making metallic details), but it can be less or more or even entirely plain. 
I have some other examples of ceremonial bridles here:  [X]  [X]  [X]
Feel free to sparkle all you want ^^ 

Who's the horse model?
That would be my own ZS Hilas Spinosa of Zdarloch Stables =)


Other questions? Feel free to throw them my way :la:

Can these be used as actual bridles or are they mostly used as halters? Sorry if it's already been asked.
