Feed bag : Light Horse units

Cream canvas feed bag for a horse, designed to be attached to the saddle to carry feed and then to be placed on the horse's head as a nosebag so that it can eat. The bag has a rectangular shape and the bottom is reinforced by a second layer of canvas. Four large brass reinforced rivetted holes have been placed horizontally across the front of the bag, approximately 95mm from the top edge of the bag, to provide the horse with ventilation while it is eating. A canvas strap is attached to the left side of the bag and threads through a canvas loop on the right side. It can be tied and adjusted to a suitable length.
