I personally think the snaffle is nice because the horse can play with it with it's tongue, but the snaffle might pinch the horse's mouth.

You can, but it will take a lot of retraining for the horse to learn the pressure cues given by the bitless bridle and many horses have trouble collecting and extending without the aid of a bit.


A bridle with no bit is called a what?

A bit is the part of the bridle that gets put in the horse's mouth. It is usually metal. It's used for control. The reigns are connected to it. A bridle without a bit is built differently to put pressure on different pars of the horse's head to give the rider control with the reigns. Though many riders use bitless bridles for many many reasons, I like them because when my horse and I go on trail rides, we can stop and take a break and I can let my horse eat grass without the hassle of changing from bridle to halter.


What is the best non-leather bridle for all around use?

What bit should you use for your horse he is 6 and stong and cant get him to lower his head when you do he lowers it all the way and you cant get him on an out line?

Try a bitless bridle. Many horses hate bits, because bits often hurt the horse. It's really hard to use a bit and NOT hurt the horse with it. Most bridles and bits use pain or the threat of pain to make a horse do something. So, I advise getting a bitless bridle and training him instead of going up a bigger, stronger (and therefore more painful) bit.


Where do you put a hackamore?

A hackamore is a bitless bridle that is good for young horses or horses with sensitive mouths. Rather than a bit, it loops around the muzzle and act with pressure on the poll and the face, rather than the usually magnified pressure of a bit. A hackmore goes on a horse the same as a bridle.


What are the parts of a tack?

The section behind the horse's ear is called the bridle path. It is called the bridle path because a section a the bridle is place there and the horse will be uncomfortable if the bridle path grows out too long. There is no specific name for the process of trimming the bridle path.


What is the best bit and bridle for the walking horse?

By walking horse I assume you mean the Tennessee Walking horse. I find that my TWH (and many other horses of other breeds) prefer bitless bridles, but bosals aren't good for walking horses because of their head action. The bottom tends to come up and hit them when they move their head, or so I've heard. I ride in a halter, and you can also get the Bitless Bridle. But other than the bosal, Walking horses will go in anything. If I have to have a bit I prefer a snaffle because it's so gentle, and the horses seem to like it better too.
