How to take your three photos

Fit your horse's current bridle as you normally ride in it, then take these three shots.

1 · LEFT SIDE
Left side

Stand level with the head, far enough back to fit ears to chin in the frame.

2 · RIGHT SIDE
Right side

The same shot from the other side, so we can compare the buckles on both sides.

3 · FRONT ON
Front on

Stand straight in front with the head looking at you, from ears to muzzle.
