The fatter the bar, generally the kinder the bit. Looking for a kind bit look for a fat bar, the width of which will be suitable for the horse. Whether the bit is a snaffle with one or more joints, or a curb, the fatter, the kinder. If the bit is a curb, go with the shortest shanks possible going down, and little shank above the bar. Try it with a leather curb strap first, then a curb chain - and make sure the chain lies flat.

What is the softest western bit for a horse?
Definitely a snaffle bit. Many instructors (those who shouldn't be in the industry) will encourage you to start with a snaffle, and then move to something more harsh as quickly as you can. This is inadvisable. Generally speaking you want to start with a snaffle bit, and if your horse pulls through the bit and doesn't listen to you, then you move up. A shanked snaffle bit is a very nice place to go, because it can be very gentle, however the shanks provide you with leverage which will make it significantly less pleasant for the horse to try to ignore. Another alternative (assuming you have enough control of the horse) is a side-pull. The side-pull is a style of bitless bridle that is similar to a halter, but provides more precise control than a hackamore or a bosel.

Why can't you leave a bridle on a horse in the pasture?
The bit on the bridle makes it so when the horse tries to graze, it chokes. Also, the horse can step on the reins and trip. Also, if you leave a bit on a horse unsupervised the horse can severely injure itself....including cutting it's tongue off and/or cutting it's mouth open. You should NEVER tie a horse with a bit in it's mouth or leave a horse unattended with a bit in.
