Sometimes two bits, a weymouth and a snaffle are used together for more control over a horse - this is called a 'double bridle'.
Two sets of reins are used, the lower pair (the weymouth I think) is held in the fingers as you would ordinarily, whereas the other set is held in the same way, but instead of the rein running through the ring and little finger, it lies between the middle and ring finger.
Double bridles are used mostly by the mounted police, professional dressage riders and on strong/unruly horses.
Hope this helped

Do western bridles differ from English bridles?
Yes, Western and English bridles differ greatly. For one thing, they have completely different uses. For another thing, there are many types of English bridles, all used for specific events. Western bridles are pretty close to each other, although some do differ. English bridles are very complex and have many straps and different bits or reins. Western bridles are mush simpler, and do not have nose bands or chin straps. Some have throat latches, but many don't. I could go on forever listing the differences, but I'll just leave it at that.

Was the bit designed before the nose band?
I believe it was. The most primative bridles consisted of some kind of bit, usually made of animal hide, and a simple headstall. Nosebands came later as bridles got more sophisticated.
Who invented the snaffle bit?
A snaffle bit is a simple jointed bit that does not provide leverage. Many snaffles are jointed bits, but not all jointed bits are snaffles. A mullen mouth is a curved, non-jointed snaffle bit. What distinguishes a snaffle is that the reins are attached directly to the bit without any sort of leverage, either through shanks or lower rings or slots.

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.

How much would a horse bridle cost?
The cost of a bridle can vary. I have a nice one that I bought for $35. They range in price - some can be hundreds of dollars depending on the designer and leather quality. It depends on what you want to spend. I prefer to get a good quality one, which might cost more because it has better leather and will last forever. It depends on what you are using it for, too. If trail riding is your thing than you won't need an expensive one, But if you do showing and or pony club you might as well spend the money.

What is a suitable bit for a strong horse for equitation is you have to have some kind of snaffle?
d-ring snaffle should be fine for a horse like that and it gives u more control on your horse and thaey sell them in tack shops so they're not hard to find! I always recommend going back to basics to soften a strong horse, but using a slow twist snaffle really helps. Only if you have light hands, as slow twists and twisted snaffles can really hurt as they are usually smaller in diameter then regular jointed or double jointed snaffles.
