Bridle
With turquoise color yarn:
Leaving a very long yarn tail, make 40 ch (try on from one edge of the muzzle to the other). F. o. and cut the yarn. We return to the left yarn tail and make 28 ch, we try it on around the muzzle. F. o. and cut the yarn.

We sew the bridle (I do this directly on the horse itself).

Assembly
Sew the muzzle and ears to the head. Embroider eyelashes, eyebrows, nostrils and eye whites.
Sew the head to the body.

We sew the mane like this: long strands at ear level (50 ch), then below the medium ones (40 ch) and even lower the short ones (30 ch).
Then we sew on the forelock and tail.

We put on the bridle. If desired, it can be sewn on the back of the head.
