A bridle is typically made from leather or synthetic materials. The process involves cutting the material into various parts, such as the headstall, cheekpieces, and reins, which are then stitched together. Hardware like buckles and bit rings is attached to complete the bridle. Finally, the bridle is usually treated with oils or conditioners to enhance durability and flexibility.
A flash bridle is just a snaffle bridle with a flash hinge and flash strap attached to the noseband. Flash Bridles should always be applied with care as many people over tighten them and cause the horse stress and pain.

A bit is the part of the bridle that gets put in the horse's mouth. It is usually metal. It's used for control. The reigns are connected to it. A bridle without a bit is built differently to put pressure on different pars of the horse's head to give the rider control with the reigns. Though many riders use bitless bridles for many many reasons, I like them because when my horse and I go on trail rides, we can stop and take a break and I can let my horse eat grass without the hassle of changing from bridle to halter.
