ARgh! Seems like I can't find the picture in question to check my theory out, but the way I remember the picture, I think the horse was wearing a traditional Iberian bridle. They often have leather straps haning from the centre of the bow band. Some Andalusian person once told me that it was for decoration and to stress the beat when the horse moves in passage etc. Sounds a bit strange to me, but that's what she said. We too have 'fly-veils' that consists of brow bands with straps all the way.
