A bit is the part of the bridle that gets put in the horse's mouth. It is usually metal. It's used for control. The reigns are connected to it. A bridle without a bit is built differently to put pressure on different pars of the horse's head to give the rider control with the reigns. Though many riders use bitless bridles for many many reasons, I like them because when my horse and I go on trail rides, we can stop and take a break and I can let my horse eat grass without the hassle of changing from bridle to halter.

Which type of bridle does not have a bit?
The bridle that does not have a bit in it is called the hackamore. It looks just like a normal bridle, except there is nothing that goes into the horse's mouth. It is used to have a quicker responce from your horse (make them stop faster), because it cuts off the air supply in their nose when you pull on it. If you ride a horse in the hackamore, try to ride softly, and don't yank on the reins as much as you might if you were in a normal bit.
