Bridle

Bridles are found in KQ2 and KQ4.

Background
There is a belief, not so common anymore, that a wicked witch can can throw a magic bridle over someone's head and turn the person into a horse. The witch then rides the unhappy person a long distance to some witches' gathering, and rides back in the morning. The victim soon becomes ill and weary from lack of sleep and died. A number of folktales exist that tell how some victims were able to escape this fate.

The Greeks and Romans said that the great winged horse Pegasus could only be tamed if it were wearing a certain magic bridle.
