The bridoon is a small, loose-ring snaffle that is used in conjunction with a curb bit on a double bridle. This is often seen at the upper levels of dressage, when a higher amount of subtlety and very exact aids are needed to execute the movements.

What is the difference between a flash nose band bridle and a dressage bridle?
A dressage bridle is any bridle used during dressage, it's not actually a type of bridle.Most bridles used in dressage are black snaffle bridles with or without a flash attachment. Double bridles which use two bits (A bradoon (or bridoon) snaffle bit and a curb bit, typically a Weymouth are used.) and two reins are employed for a more finished response.Either of these types can employ a flash attachment which is a strap of leather that attaches to the noseband on the top, encircles the mouth and is buckled close under the chin to prevent the horse from evading the bit. If adjusted properly it does not harm the horse, but in the wrong hand a flash attachment can be tightened too much and cause discomfort.

What if your help Please Dressage Riders I am leasing a Belgian mare and she is only green broke i might finish her training in dressage but i am a jumper so should i switch to dressage for her?
If you are leasing a Belgian mare and she is only green broke, it would be best to finish her training in dressage if she was started in dressage. If you are primarily a jumper, you would do better with an expert to help finish her in dressage before confusing her with jumping. A Belgian is a heavy horse and jumping can cause quite a bit of strain to the tendons and bones of the legs, especially if she is close to two thousand pounds. Dressage riders tend to place less strain on the horse. If you do switch to dressage, make sure to train with an expert.
