The Peruvian saddle is a unique piece in the world...
One of the peculiarities of the Peruvian tack is the use of the breeching or harness called guarnición.
The Peruvian stirrup has also undergone some changes over time. The stirrups introduced by the conquistadors were of two types: the conventional triangular shape and the ones shaped in the form of slippers and made of iron or copper.
The headgear is called jato or terno in Peru and it consists of three pieces: the halter with its shank; the headstall and reigns; and, the eye cover and strap.
