A double bridle has two bits - a bradoon, or snaffle - and a curb bit.

The curb is usually used to help create the horse's frame, and the snaffle is used more to give the horse cues - instructions.

The bradoon rein is held between the 4th and 5th fingers and is usually picked up first. Then the hand is turned and the curb rein is picked up and held between the 1st and 2nd fingers.

Both bits and reins are used independently as well as together to cue the horse.

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.
