Hanas Kreutzberger - horse types circa 1562 in Central Europe

 Salvete Omnes,

The Bavarian State llibrary has several copies of the XVI century German farrier's work, Hans Kreutzberger, on the bits of the period -  I do not read this old German script, but I am trying to decipher the script in the horse plates.
But there are almost 400 curb-bits described in this volume. and some splendid horse woodcuts and drawings showing horse conformation 

this is the title page from 1591 edition

..

and horses 

the Turkish horse  - from the 1562 drawing

and Hungarian cavalier, buckler and sabre,  with a Wallachian horse

sadly no Polish horse, do note how the bridles are fastened etc.

some spurs, a stirrup and a currycomb 

Enjoy
