No some are of the basic snaffle design, usually double bridles are used only for really well trained horses.
Yes, Western and English bridles differ greatly. For one thing, they have completely different uses. For another thing, there are many types of English bridles, all used for specific events. Western bridles are pretty close to each other, although some do differ. English bridles are very complex and have many straps and different bits or reins. Western bridles are mush simpler, and do not have nose bands or chin straps. Some have throat latches, but many don't. I could go on forever listing the differences, but I'll just leave it at that.
There are five main categories of bits. These are:SnaffleCurbPelhamGagNoseIn dressage, there are restrictions on the type of bit you can use. Only snaffle bits, and in higher levels, double bridles, may be used and are classed as 'legal'.
All the races use dressage.
There are several different types of English riding without going over fences. Hunt seat, Equitation, Saddle Seat and Dressage are just a few. Some of these need specific saddles and/or bridles. All are challenging for horse and rider.
Dressage is definitely a sport. It is ridden all around the world and has it's own spot for competition in the Olympics.

Dressage is a French term that means training. All horses go through 'Dressage' at some point in their lives. However competitive Dressage is used to show off horses that have been trained to a higher degree than most others.
Arabian horses win dressage competitions all the time. They are particularly good at the lower levels.
When riding a horse it's always good to be equipped correctly. Things you will need would include a saddle, bridle, and a blanket. However those are just a few necessities. With that equipment comes other things such as straps, stirrups, and a bit. There are also different types of saddles/bridles/blankets. It just all depends on your style of riding.
Well yes and no. Every horse is capable of doing dressage, but not all are capable of doing it well enough to compete.
In Pippa Funnell 1 you may get stuck on dressage and if you do go to the library and make that one of the things you need to do in your day then buy the books... Dressage: Walk, Dressage: Trot, Dressage: Gallop, Dressage: Piaffe and Dressage: Flying Change. You may not have enough money for them all at once so if you go to the library time by time or if you don't want to spend your money then on the screen when playing dressage when your walking and you approach a big question mark when your walking draw a S, Trot a O , gallop a G, Piaffe a Z and Flying Change a V. Hope that helps x
