What else can I help you with?
What bridles can an English hackamore be attached to?
I'm not sure what is meant by an "English hackamore". If your talking about a cavison this is usually part of the English headstall (bridle without reins). With this cavison you can attatch different training devices like a running or standing martingales.
What is hackamore?
A bitless bridle, used for training young horses, often western ones but there are English variations.
Why do English horses need nosebands to tie their mouth shut but western horses don't?
English horses don't exactly need a noseband and it doesn't tie their mouths shut. It gives more control to the rider but, I ride an English horse and he doesn't have a noseband beccause it hurts his nose.
What kind of bridle should you buy your horse and does it really matter if you don't buy the most expensive one there?
The bridle you use will depend on several factors. The type of riding you enjoy, the training level of your horse, and at times, the bit you use. Bridles can be of the simplest design or can be complex with upper levels of riding and/or training. A simple western bridle usually consists of a headstall, browband, curb strap, throatlatch, and sometimes a noseband. Bits and reins are a separate issue. The basic english style bridle has a headstall, browband, cavasan or other type of noseband, throatlatch but the curb strap usually comes with the bit, either in leather or a flat chain or a combination of both. The third type of bridle is not really considered a bridle at all. These include the hackamore, bosal with/mecate and sidepulls. These are different for the fact that a bit is not used. Usually used on young horses before they are introduced to a bit. As with english and western bridles, hackamores come in many different types. Bridles don't have to be fancy or expensive. 'Working tack' is great for everyday use and unless you are interested in showing you need never have to buy top of the line tack. If you take good care of your bridle it will last you for many years.
What is a hackamore?
A hackamore is a type of headgear used for horses that does not include a bit. It applies pressure to the horse's face, nose, and jaw, rather than the mouth, to control and direct the horse's movement. It is often used as a gentler alternative to a bit for sensitive-mouthed horses.

Where is the nos band on a piece of horse tack?
If you mean noseband, it is the strip of leather, nylon or rope that goes around the horse's nose on the bridle. It is also called a caveson and there are many varying types including a flash or figure8 noseband. A bridle does not necessary have to have a noseband - many western headstalls do not.
Is an English tack up or a western tack up better?
Don't consider a "tack up". Western and English are two completely different things.In Western, you use a western saddle (the saddle with the horn on it) and usually two girths, and a Western bridle (witch doesn't include a brow band or a noseband). In western you barrel race, cattle sort, pole bend, and more. In English you use, an English saddle ,(there are three different types: all purpose, jumping, and dressage), and one girth, an English bridle (includes a noseband and a brow band), and sometimes a martingale. In English you can do hunter/jumper (you do flat work and jumping), Dressage (a series of "dance moves" for horses), or Eventing (a three-day event were you do dressage, stadium jumping, and cross-country). Both styles of riding may require boots for your horse, witch are a lot like shin guards for horses. Have fun!

What is the particularity of western bridles?

How is horse equipment used on a horse?
By equipment I assume you mean tack. The halter is used to lead, lounge or tie your horse. The bridle is a headstall, bit and reins and this helps the rider direct the horse where he wants the horse to go. The saddle, whether western or english, is strapped to the horse's back and where the rider sits.
What is a western halter?
I have never heard of a western halter, and I ride western, so I guess you mean bridle. First of all, the dif in a halter and a bridle is a bridle is usually used to ride and a halter is generally used for groundwork and leading it from place to place. Although, you can use a bridle for leading and such, and I often ride in a halter. A western bridle is just a bridle used to ride western. They generally don't have a nose band like English bridles, and sometime they will have split ear headstalls. The bit can be many dif things. Their are shank bits which should only be used with well-trained horses, and then they have snaffle bits, which are also used for English. English also use shanks, but they look dif and are normally used in dressage. Other western bridles are the bosal and the hackamore, which are bit-less bridles. the bosal is more like a halter. It has a large nose band and the reins attach right under the horses nose. and a hackamore is more like a normall bridle, as in it has the shank part of a shank bit, but has nothing that goes in the mouth. The reins attach on the end of the shanks on each side of the bridle and when pulled back the nose band pushes down on the horses nose more than a bosal would. Hope this wasnt too confusing :)
