Yeah, lots of silver would totally work.
And the horse could have "high chrome" too - but that would have been frowned upon by many in the 19th century.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What the hell kind of bit is that last one? Looks like a torture device--tack by the Spanish Inquisition. Also, now I'm humming Boots of Spanish Leather. Which is a reprieve from "Gelderland! Gelderland. Gelderland, Gelderland, Gelderland!" from A Knight's Tale, prompted by a breed I'd never heard of in one of those links, the Gelderlander.
ita, I completely agree with Ginger--Mexican silver was all over the place on tack and haberdashery. It would not be unusual at all for a silver-mounted bridle to show up on a flashy black horse.
Now. Mare? or not?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ooh, thanks, I hope I can get some of this in.
Yeah, it's a mare. But I'm only drawing to the shoulders, I think. She's in a stall in the scene I'm thinking of illustrating. With her bridle on.

There have been fics set in the west, either timeslip or post-apocalypse, that parallels were drawn from pentagram to US Marshal's star. IJS, it would not be at all out of place to have pentagrams in silver on a bridle. Or Enochian script or runes disguised as ornamental scrollwork. Or, you know, stuff.

I can see them where the bridlepath meets the cheekpieces.

Fuck, there's a bit of the fic I was idly thinking of illustrating that would involve Enochian lettering, and do I really want to go there? But if I could pull it off...it would be glorious.

So backstory for the equine Impala: homebred by John?
It's magically transformed for time travel. Sam gets a "normal" horse, I guess. Oddly, it's the only one not described. Hmm.
