Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved method of storing bridles for transit in horse transport trailers, which are designed and constructed for the transport of horses. Such transport destinations are to shows rodeos, races or hunts and other events usually promoted by horse lovers at different locations. The improved device of the present invention is provided to allow better use of the available space in such a vehicle. The bridles and other gear are transported off the horse during travel. These accouterments are usually stored in the storage compartment forward of the horses. This space is generally restricted in size. It is most desirable to be able to hang bridles in transit freely suspended so that they do not suffer abrasion from vibration. The present invention provides a rotatable unit with hoods about the periphery on which the bridles hang freely. The result is an expansion of the ability to use the limited available space more effectively.
