This is made out of cornhusk. This is the bridal. That goes on the horse. These come off the reign. And this is the front part. The martingale that hangs around the neck and this is the part that hangs off the back.

My grandma Elsie received this outfit when my grandma Celia Torres passed away. What year did she pass away? Do your remember? About ‘74 I think. I was still in high school. She passed away and this is one of the grandmothers that paraded all the time was my grandmother and they called each other sister. I believe she made it, I haven’t found out for sure. Different family members said that she made it. And when she passed away it was given to my grandmother Elsie in the Longhouse in the ceremonies they do after someone passes away.
