you dont need to have different bridals for horses, but you need to get different sizes. You also need to get certain bits for different horses. Its all depends on the what the horse is most confortable with, you could ask a horse trainer for help choosing one

No some are of the basic snaffle design, usually double bridles are used only for really well trained horses.
There are 2 styles of riding. English riding, and western riding. Both styles have different techniques, signals, and tack (saddles, bridles, etc.) And there are certain competitive sports you can do depending on which style you ride.
Leather strips are bridles which are used to control the horse, but mace, I have no idea.
Horses forelocks are dual purpose. The protect the eyes from the sun. But mostly they to help protect the horses eyes from nats, flys and dust and sand. Many driving horses have them shaved off as they interfere with driving bridles.
It is preference of the trainer. D. Wayne Lukas is the trainer who kind of started the white bridle trend. Most of his former assistants such as Todd Pletcher and Steve Assmussen will use white bridles as well.
Horses don't wear clothing. they wear saddles, bridles, breastplates, martingales, etc. if you mean what do the jockeys wear in the races they're called silks. I hope this helps you
It depends what you are using it for. Generally figure-8 bridles are used on eventers, jumpers or equitation horses. It helps keep the horse's jaw closed for more control by the rider. Not all eventers, jumpers or equitation horses need them though--only use a particular piece of tack or bit if you understand what it does and know that your horse needs it.
I say all horses should be in bitless bridles, or at the very most, a smooth snaffle.
You must be referring to the "bridle path" just behind the horses ears that most rides shave or cut off in order to make room for halters and of course bridles. i hope i helped
yes you can
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.
