How is a bridle important in horse riding?

Answer 1

A bridle is used to control a horse or pony when you are riding them. Bridles have a "bit" a piece that fits in the horse's mouth and usually a leather strap that fastens behind the jaw of the hourse. When the shanks that are attached to the bit's bridle are pulled by a set of reins that the rider holds, it puts pressure on the horse's jaw and therefore you are able to stop or guide the horse. A bridle is used for a little extra control.If you have a trained horse you will not need to tug and pull a bunch.If you are more experienced you can use your "aids".Your hips,legs and eyes.Your horse can sense shifts of weight.

Answer 5

Well, the bridle is used to control a horse by a metal fitting placed in it's mouth called a bit. The bridle consists of a browband, throat latch, noeseband, head peice, reins and a bit. The head peice hold the bridle to the head and the throat latch secures it. Then two straps go down the side of the head that connect to the bit, which sit in the horse mouth (this is used to steer the horse). Reins are then attached to the bit that run up to the riders hand. There are many types of bridles but this answer describes a basic all-purpose bridle.

There are some bridles, mainly western, that have no bit, called bosals, or a bitless bridle with shanks, called a hackamore, and these are used when a horse is neck-reined. Western bridles also do not have a nosband, unless they are bitless, and some don't have a throatlatch or a browband.

The bit and reins are the main thing that is used to control the horse. The rest just holds the bit in the mouth. A western horse is often trained to go left when the rein touches the right side of his neck, and vice versa, called neck reining, while most English horses are trained to go left when you pull the left rein, called direct-reining or plow reining.

That is how the bridle works.
