Some people consider a headcollar a halter, while others consider a headcollar a bridle. To put a halter on a horse stand on the fore-side of the head, slip the nose part of the halter over the nose, pulling it up the nose and bring the poll strap over the head right behind the ears. Buckle the halter making sure it is not too loose or too tight. To bridle a horse stand in the same place as with the halter. Hold the bit in your left hand and the headstall in your right hand. Offer the bit to the horse by gently putting the bit to his mouth. He should open his mouth and slip the bit in his mouth and bring the headstall up and over his ears. Make sure the bit is not clunking on his teeth or that it is so tight that it pulls the corners of the mouth up into a "smile". Adjust buckles and straps and make any adjustments so the bit or bridle are neither too tight or too loose. For most bits (especially shaffle bits) there can be a small "smile" at each corner of the horse's mouth. One wrinkle is the rule of thumb. Just not a big "smile".
