the snaffle part acts just like a regular bit, while the hackamore part applies pressure on the front of their face (like when ypu pull on their halter to slow them down). some models also apply pressure to the pole (the top of the horses head and the beginning of their spine)

Which type of bridle does not have a bit?
The bridle that does not have a bit in it is called the hackamore. It looks just like a normal bridle, except there is nothing that goes into the horse's mouth. It is used to have a quicker responce from your horse (make them stop faster), because it cuts off the air supply in their nose when you pull on it. If you ride a horse in the hackamore, try to ride softly, and don't yank on the reins as much as you might if you were in a normal bit.
