The bridle shows a wonderfully and professionally crafted leather construction that is crafted from heavy harness leather with graduating brass studded decoration adorning the cheek pieces and the brow band and supports a hand hammered stud decorated long shank curb bit and features a set of thick reins. McChesney is one of the most well know bit and spur makers ever to swing a hammer. McChesney was born in Plymouth, Indiana in 1868 and even attended Notre Dame for two years. McChesney’s family moved westward into Arkansas and then into Indian Territory in what is not Oklahoma. J.R. then opened a blacksmith shop.
