It usually takes me about 10 minutes. I put the saddle and blanket on first, then the bridle. When it's cold outside, be sure the bridle is warm enough it put in your horse's mouth.

I would suggest putting the bridle on last when tacking and taking it off first when untacking. It will help you and your horse have a better ride!

How it works depends on serveral factors. The bit can apply pressure to different parts of the horse's mouth or tongue depending what type of bit it is. Nose bands can help make the bit more effective, allowing no opportunity for the horse to open his mouth too wide and avoid the bit. The throatlatch helps keep the headstall in place. And the reins are the lines of communication from the rider's hands to the horse's mouth.
