I have never heard of a western halter, and I ride western, so I guess you mean bridle. First of all, the dif in a halter and a bridle is a bridle is usually used to ride and a halter is generally used for groundwork and leading it from place to place. Although, you can use a bridle for leading and such, and I often ride in a halter.
A western bridle is just a bridle used to ride western. They generally don't have a nose band like English bridles, and sometime they will have split ear headstalls. The bit can be many dif things. Their are shank bits which should only be used with well-trained horses, and then they have snaffle bits, which are also used for English. English also use shanks, but they look dif and are normally used in dressage.
Other western bridles are the bosal and the hackamore, which are bit-less bridles. the bosal is more like a halter. It has a large nose band and the reins attach right under the horses nose. and a hackamore is more like a normall bridle, as in it has the shank part of a shank bit, but has nothing that goes in the mouth. The reins attach on the end of the shanks on each side of the bridle and when pulled back the nose band pushes down on the horses nose more than a bosal would.
Hope this wasnt too confusing :)
