A snaffle is the bit that is used, a flash is the noseband. So you can have both in the same bridle.
A flash noseband is like a cavesson with an extra strap that goes around the horse's nose just below the bit. This strap attaches at the centre of the cavesson strap (on the front)
A snaffle bit is the most commonly used bit, and there are many variations on it. An eggbut snaffle is most common and is a simple jointed bit with fixed rings on either side.

Neither a snaffle nor a flash is a bridle. A snaffle is a bit and a flash is a noseband or cavison. A regular cavison is a simple strap the goes around the horse's nose almost half way between the eye and nostril. It buckles under the horse's jaw. A flash is worn lower on the nose and is used to prevent the horse from opening his mouth and 'avoiding' the bit and/or making the bit more effective.

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 is a flash bridle?

What is the difference between a fancy snaffle bridle and a plain snaffle bridle?
The subject of bits is so extensive you could never learn all the bits and their uses. A plain bit used for young horses usually has a thicker mouthpiece (thicker is gentler on the young horse's mouth) with no shanks. An eggbutt, o-ring, or broken Dee are good 'easy' bits. These bits, as in all bits, are made of different materials, copper being one of the best for the horse's mouth. Bits with shanks, or bits used on double bridles, can be fancy and can be expensive. They can be made of steriling silver, silver plate, copper, sweetiron and stainless steel are just a few. Fancy or no, what is important is the mouth piece, shanks and chin strap. These decide how soft or harsh the bit will be on your horse's mouth. With any bit, always strive for the least amount of bit to get the most result from your horse. So go as soft as you can to get the results you need.
How do you stop a pony evading the bit when nothing is wrong with teeth or back?
You can try a figure eight bridle or a flash bridle to prevent your pony from opening his mouth and evading the bit.
What is the best bit to use for a horse that has never used one?
For horses who have been ridden in a bit less bridle for many years, the best action is to use a gentle, one piece or two piece snaffle bridle. (Do Not use a flash, grackle, or martingale on horses who have not experienced bits before.) Make sure the horse gets used to it before you get on (usually about one week). Make sure your horse can open and close it's mouth, and play with the bit. A good idea is to have "keys" attached to the bit, which encourages the horse to salivate and play with the bit.
