A bridle with no bit is called a what?
A bit is the part of the bridle that gets put in the horse's mouth. It is usually metal. It's used for control. The reigns are connected to it. A bridle without a bit is built differently to put pressure on different pars of the horse's head to give the rider control with the reigns. Though many riders use bitless bridles for many many reasons, I like them because when my horse and I go on trail rides, we can stop and take a break and I can let my horse eat grass without the hassle of changing from bridle to halter.

You should stand on the horses near side (Left side). Holding the bridle by the Crown piece,lift it over the horses head.

For horses who have been ridden in a bit less bridle for many years, the best action is to use a gentle, one piece or two piece snaffle bridle. (Do Not use a flash, grackle, or martingale on horses who have not experienced bits before.) Make sure the horse gets used to it before you get on (usually about one week). Make sure your horse can open and close it's mouth, and play with the bit. A good idea is to have "keys" attached to the bit, which encourages the horse to salivate and play with the bit.
How is a bridle important in horse riding?
A bridle is used to control a horse or pony when you are riding them. Bridles have a "bit" a piece that fits in the horse's mouth and usually a leather strap that fastens behind the jaw of the hourse. When the shanks that are attached to the bit's bridle are pulled by a set of reins that the rider holds, it puts pressure on the horse's jaw and therefore you are able to stop or guide the horse. A bridle is used for a little extra control.If you have a trained horse you will not need to tug and pull a bunch.If you are more experienced you can use your "aids".Your hips,legs and eyes.Your horse can sense shifts of weight.
