they can, it all depends on what type of bit and bridle set you are comfortable with, and what your horse is comfortable with.
its to help the birdle stay in place and so it will not fall off
the western bridle has no throat latch unlike the show bridle. It also does no have a noseband. But most other bridles Do!! Like Pony bridles have both a noseband and a throat latch.

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.
No.
they are often highly colored and they do not have a throatlatch
if you are trying to pass level 6 in horwse its often highly coloured and has no nose band.
It is the area of the horse where the head meets the windpipe on the underside of the jaw. It is kind of where we would think the area of a the throat would be on a human. It is also wear a part of the bridle called the throat latch buckles.
The halter of the horse is used to control them while you are not riding. They are made of cloth (or rope, or leather), and go around the nose, behind the ears, and attach around the throat with a latch. Unlike bridles, there is nothing in the mouth. A halter (also called a head collar) goes around the horses nose, around the back of the head and under the throat. It is used to lead a horse and is made of leather or fabric.
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.
Keeps the bridle for slipping over the ears, rendering you without control of the horse.
I would say that you would need a bridle that has a crown piece (in front of the ears) A strap behind the ears and a throat latch (under the neck), this would ensure that while turning a barrel that the head stall wouldnn't come flying off. Most nylon bridles are made this way, and some leather ones as well, (although these are generally mush more expensive.)
yes you can
About even with its throat latch, is how I do it. and the side should not matter, as every horse should be trained to lead from either side. The horse should also be trained to keep his head right in front of your shoulder, keeping you even with his throat latch. He should adjust to your speed and position, not you to his speed and prefered position.
