If you have a calm horse put the reins over it's neck, remove the headcollar and quickly puton the bridle, do not do this with a horse that will spook easily or is not well behaved, perhaps tack up in a stable.

How do you put on a horse headcollar?
Some people consider a headcollar a halter, while others consider a headcollar a bridle. To put a halter on a horse stand on the fore-side of the head, slip the nose part of the halter over the nose, pulling it up the nose and bring the poll strap over the head right behind the ears. Buckle the halter making sure it is not too loose or too tight. To bridle a horse stand in the same place as with the halter. Hold the bit in your left hand and the headstall in your right hand. Offer the bit to the horse by gently putting the bit to his mouth. He should open his mouth and slip the bit in his mouth and bring the headstall up and over his ears. Make sure the bit is not clunking on his teeth or that it is so tight that it pulls the corners of the mouth up into a "smile". Adjust buckles and straps and make any adjustments so the bit or bridle are neither too tight or too loose. For most bits (especially shaffle bits) there can be a small "smile" at each corner of the horse's mouth. One wrinkle is the rule of thumb. Just not a big "smile".
What is a bridle mount?
A bridle mount is a hook, rack or similar device that you hang bridles on when the horse is not wearing them. A horse should never be tied up in a bridle because if it panics and pulls, it can damage its mouth. It should also never be left in a bridle unnattended. Most of the time, it should wear a halter and the bridle should be hanging up. You can also hang other leather strappings, lead ropes and halters on a bridle mount.

Yes you can, but if the bridle is of a very high quality it should be noted that the extra use will wear the bridle out sooner and require replacing more often which will add to your budget. Using the bridle during practice can also cause damage to the bridle rendering it unsuitable for showing in.

You should stand on the horses near side (Left side). Holding the bridle by the Crown piece,lift it over the horses head. Use your fingers to press on the horses bars and get him to open his mouth to allow you to gently slip the bit inside. Once the bit is in, fit the bridle to the rest of the head by pulling (gently) the bridle over the ears and making sure the straps are buckled appropriately.
