What level in dressage do you use a double bridle?
A double bridle is typically used at the FEI levels of dressage, starting from the Intermediate Level and up, including Grand Prix. It allows for more refined communication between the rider and horse, as it uses two bits: a snaffle and a curb. Riders at lower levels usually compete with a single bridle, which is sufficient for their needs. The use of a double bridle is often seen as a sign of advanced training and skill.
How do you use a double bitted bridle?
A double bridle has two bits - a bradoon, or snaffle - and a curb bit. The curb is usually used to help create the horse's frame, and the snaffle is used more to give the horse cues - instructions. The bradoon rein is held between the 4th and 5th fingers and is usually picked up first. Then the hand is turned and the curb rein is picked up and held between the 1st and 2nd fingers. Both bits and reins are used independently as well as together to cue the horse.

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 the difference between a flash nose band bridle and a dressage bridle?
A dressage bridle is any bridle used during dressage, it's not actually a type of bridle.Most bridles used in dressage are black snaffle bridles with or without a flash attachment. Double bridles which use two bits (A bradoon (or bridoon) snaffle bit and a curb bit, typically a Weymouth are used.) and two reins are employed for a more finished response.Either of these types can employ a flash attachment which is a strap of leather that attaches to the noseband on the top, encircles the mouth and is buckled close under the chin to prevent the horse from evading the bit. If adjusted properly it does not harm the horse, but in the wrong hand a flash attachment can be tightened too much and cause discomfort.
