"Bridlework" provides a thorough introduction to the art of bridlemaking. The easy-to-follow, step-by-step text is complemented by over 200 photographs plus diagrams. The book covers: tools and materials; cutting, preparing, stitching and finishing leather; different styles of bridles; size tables; headcollars, martingales, breaking and schooling aids, girths, stirrup leathers, accessories; and glossary of terms. This book has been written as a stable companion to the author's "Repair you own Saddlery and Harness" and is an essential reference book for both the student and the experienced bridle maker.

When apprenticed to the Queen's saddler and harness maker, Robert Steinke passed his City and Guilds exams at the Cordwainers College, London. Subsequently his work has been exhibited all over the world. Always fascinated by cameras, the author developed a flair for photography when he needed pictures for his mail-order business. When living in Brittany he started to devote more time to equestrian journalism and photography, pursuits he has continued in Ireland where he now lives with his wife Jenny, and his horses.
