What is a western halter?
I have never heard of a western halter, and I ride western, so I guess you mean bridle. First of all, the dif in a halter and a bridle is a bridle is usually used to ride and a halter is generally used for groundwork and leading it from place to place. Although, you can use a bridle for leading and such, and I often ride in a halter. A western bridle is just a bridle used to ride western. They generally don't have a nose band like English bridles, and sometime they will have split ear headstalls. The bit can be many dif things. Their are shank bits which should only be used with well-trained horses, and then they have snaffle bits, which are also used for English. English also use shanks, but they look dif and are normally used in dressage. Other western bridles are the bosal and the hackamore, which are bit-less bridles. the bosal is more like a halter. It has a large nose band and the reins attach right under the horses nose. and a hackamore is more like a normall bridle, as in it has the shank part of a shank bit, but has nothing that goes in the mouth. The reins attach on the end of the shanks on each side of the bridle and when pulled back the nose band pushes down on the horses nose more than a bosal would. Hope this wasnt too confusing :)

What is to catch a ride?
It means the person in question is going to get someone else to drive them somewhere. As in, "I'm going to catch a ride with Bob to the bar." It can also be used as an instruction. As in, "You'll have to catch a ride with Susan to work tomorrow."
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.
What bridle joints used for?

How is a bridle important in horse riding?
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.
What does a horse's bridle look like?
A 'Bridle' is what goes on the horse's head, what you steer their head with. Most of the time bridles are leather but they can also be nylon and any material that halters are made out of as well. There are a bunch of different types of bridles depending on what style of riding you do (such as Dressage, Western, Reining, general English, Hacks, and so on). See the Related Links section below for some images on bridles, complete with labels, to help make more sense out of them.

What is the difference between a halter and bridle?
Halters are used to handle your horse on the ground. You attach lead ropes to halters. They do not have bits (the metal part of a bridle that goes in the horse's mouth). When you are riding, a bridle is used. It has a bit that goes in the horse's mouth to help control it. Also, the straps on a bridle are made to control a horse.
