How many bits does a full bridle have?
A full bridle typically has 16 bits, which includes a curb bit, snaffle bit, and a bit of the rider's choice. The bridle is used in horseback riding to control the horse's movements and direction.
What part of the bridle will be different between a flash and a snaffle bridle?
A snaffle is the bit that is used, a flash is the noseband. So you can have both in the same bridle. A flash noseband is like a cavesson with an extra strap that goes around the horse's nose just below the bit. This strap attaches at the centre of the cavesson strap (on the front) A snaffle bit is the most commonly used bit, and there are many variations on it. An eggbut snaffle is most common and is a simple jointed bit with fixed rings on either side.
What part of the bridle will be differnt between a snaffle bridle and a flash bridle?
Neither a snaffle nor a flash is a bridle. A snaffle is a bit and a flash is a noseband or cavison. A regular cavison is a simple strap the goes around the horse's nose almost half way between the eye and nostril. It buckles under the horse's jaw. A flash is worn lower on the nose and is used to prevent the horse from opening his mouth and 'avoiding' the bit and/or making the bit more effective.

What is the most comfortable bit for a horse besides a bitless bridle?

What part of the bridal will be different from the snaffle bridal and flash bridal?
The bridal typically differs from the snaffle bridle and flash bridle in its design and functionality. A snaffle bridle features a single jointed or double jointed bit, providing direct communication with the horse's mouth, while a flash bridle includes a flash strap that helps keep the horse's mouth closed, preventing them from evading the bit. The bridal can vary in style, including options like double bridles or hackamores, depending on the level of control and communication desired. Each type serves specific purposes based on the horse's training and the rider's preferences.
What bridle is best for your horse?
It depends on your horse. If you ride an English horse, definitely an English style bridle. You might be wondering about the type of bit; most horses start with a regular or egg-butt snaffle. If you are looking for a certain brand, I would recommend Edgewood. They're expensive but last a very long time if taken care of. If you ride a Western horse, definitely a Western style bridle. I don't do a lot of Western, so I wouldn't know.
What is the most popular horse bit?

Does the snaffle bridle hold the horse's head high?
The snaffle is a bit, not a bridle, and it is very gentle, i don't think it holds the horses head high, your hands shouldn't eaither, lifting the horses rib cage with your legs should bring the horses head up not your hands. (this is a lot better for the horse, and it will make your rid ebetter too)
What is the softest western bit for a horse?
Definitely a snaffle bit. Many instructors (those who shouldn't be in the industry) will encourage you to start with a snaffle, and then move to something more harsh as quickly as you can. This is inadvisable. Generally speaking you want to start with a snaffle bit, and if your horse pulls through the bit and doesn't listen to you, then you move up. A shanked snaffle bit is a very nice place to go, because it can be very gentle, however the shanks provide you with leverage which will make it significantly less pleasant for the horse to try to ignore. Another alternative (assuming you have enough control of the horse) is a side-pull. The side-pull is a style of bitless bridle that is similar to a halter, but provides more precise control than a hackamore or a bosel.
