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.
