There is a distinctive undulating white or yellowish browband above the eyes. Harness bridles may feature a fancy browband, rosettes, and other ornamentation. Tack should be workmanlike, with bridles having a flat noseband and plain browband. Riding horses are shown in brown tack, with a coloured browband. A browband that is too short causes the browband or crownpiece to rub the ears. In the latter case, the frentera usually substitutes for a browband. The browband is commonly brightly colored leather or vinyl, red being the most common color.
