Halters are made to lead horses from place to place.
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.

What is the best bit to use for a horse that has never used one?
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.
