A 'Bridle' is what goes on the horse's head, what you steer their head with. Most of the time bridles are leather but they can also be nylon and any material that halters are made out of as well.

There are a bunch of different types of bridles depending on what style of riding you do (such as Dressage, Western, Reining, general English, Hacks, and so on). See the Related Links section below for some images on bridles, complete with labels, to help make more sense out of them.

A bridle as a type of horse equipment that is used to ride the horse. You put it on their head, (it's similar to the halter) and most bridles have a bit that you put in the horse's mouth to control them. Except if you use a hackamore bridle, which I use with my mare, it does not have a bit, which my horse prefers. Instead it cuts off the air in their nose. So if you use it, be sure not to pull to hard or jerk the reins often. Anyway, the bridle is used to control your horse while you ride them. Without it, it would be very hard to control and steer your horse.

This is the snaffle bridle that is used in lower levels of dressage. This is the double bridle which is used in upper levels of dressage. It has two bits for more control and signals.

How does a bridle path look?

Well this would depend on which form of bridle path you are asking about. There are two. The first is the area behind a horses ears that is clipped to allow the bridle to sit more comfortably on the horses head. The mane is typically clipped off in a inch long strip (Taking care not to clip the forelock). The other 'bridle path' is a trail system designed for horses, though this term is not as frequently used nowadays. They should be wide enough to allow two horses to pass one another, other than that the appearance will vary according to location.
