Halters are used as a type of bridle, almost. When you lead a horse, a halter is used. This allows the leader to have control over the horse without having to wrangle a bridle onto a horse. Most use them when doing ground work with a horse such as lunging and bending. They are simply a control devise when you are on the ground with a horse.
