Is there a consensus as to whether one uses a bridle and halter during therapeutic horseback riding lessons or just a bridle or just a halter and why?
The choice of Bridle, Halter, or both is up to the discretion of the instructor. That being said there are factors that contribute to that choice. If the person riding cannot hold onto reins or would cause the horse pain then the horse would ;likely wear a halter only. If the rider had good motor skills and could keep from hurting the horses mouth, then just a bridle would be good. If however the rider is in a transition from poor to good muscle control then they would likely use both. The bridle to teach the rider to hold the reins and a halter to keep control over the horse as the rider learns.
