You mean something like this . Horse dental halter. Other side is missing. As well as the straps and cross bites.

Man we have some fart smellers around here

Well then, what is it? Cause the link NY_bowman's post #32 has a pic of one too. It was invented by a Dallas vet that had patent rights for a while. The vets name was Dr. F E Rutherford. Founded the Rutherford Veterinary Hospital in Dallas.

The one you found looks like the picture of the one in the horses mouth. The original must me missing some attachments.

Umm, yah. Think that's what I said in post #30?

Umm, yea. I’m not talking about the other side. I’m talking about where the bridle attaches to the bit.
