The double bridle is used in the upper levels of dressage. It consists of two bits: the bridoon, a very thin, small snaffle, and the curb. There is a separate set of reins for each bit, requiring the rider to be skilled enough to handle two sets of reins that serve two different purposes.

What level in dressage do you use a double bridle?
A double bridle is typically used at the FEI levels of dressage, starting from the Intermediate Level and up, including Grand Prix. It allows for more refined communication between the rider and horse, as it uses two bits: a snaffle and a curb. Riders at lower levels usually compete with a single bridle, which is sufficient for their needs. The use of a double bridle is often seen as a sign of advanced training and skill.
What is the difference between a flash nose band bridle and a dressage bridle?
A dressage bridle is any bridle used during dressage, it's not actually a type of bridle.Most bridles used in dressage are black snaffle bridles with or without a flash attachment. Double bridles which use two bits (A bradoon (or bridoon) snaffle bit and a curb bit, typically a Weymouth are used.) and two reins are employed for a more finished response.Either of these types can employ a flash attachment which is a strap of leather that attaches to the noseband on the top, encircles the mouth and is buckled close under the chin to prevent the horse from evading the bit. If adjusted properly it does not harm the horse, but in the wrong hand a flash attachment can be tightened too much and cause discomfort.
Is the Birdoon bit used in dressage?
The bridoon is a small, loose-ring snaffle that is used in conjunction with a curb bit on a double bridle. This is often seen at the upper levels of dressage, when a higher amount of subtlety and very exact aids are needed to execute the movements.
What is the best bit to use for a lipizzaner?
It depends on the horse, his level of training and the kind of work he will do. If dressage is his sport, and depending on what level he is riding at, he will probably use a double bridle. A double bridle actually has 2 bits and 2 sets of reins. This bit is for advanced horse and rider and needs a lot of skill to use it correctly. The Royal Lipizzan Stallions used these bridles.
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.

Can you use Economy Nylon Bridles for dressage at home?
Absolutely. The type of bridle used in dressage is not important so long as it fits and is comfortable for the horse. The bit used with the bridle for dressage should be a snaffle (I would recommend a Dr. Bristol or french link, which have a middle link and therefore don't produce the painful nutcracking action against the roof of the horse's mouth that the single-jointed snaffle can). The only thing I would worry about is that nylon reins are often difficult to grip. If you have trouble preventing the reins from sliding through your hands, you may want to purchase a pair of laced leather or rubber reins.
