Um, that would be the reins.
Saddle strap is a fastener used to attach a saddle on a horse. It is usually made of a leather. Typically, the leather straps are connecting the stirrups to the saddle and protecting the rider's legs from sweat. (Stirrup is a light frame or ring that holds the foot of a rider, attached to the saddle by a strap.)
The cavesson is in reference not to a horse but to a piece of horse equipment. This term can be used for a lunging cavesson, or the noseband of a bridle.
A bridle is used to control a horse or pony when you are riding them. Bridles have a "bit" a piece that fits in the horse's mouth and usually a leather strap that fastens behind the jaw of the hourse. When the shanks that are attached to the bit's bridle are pulled by a set of reins that the rider holds, it puts pressure on the horse's jaw and therefore you are able to stop or guide the horse. A bridle is used for a little extra control.If you have a trained horse you will not need to tug and pull a bunch.If you are more experienced you can use your "aids".Your hips,legs and eyes.Your horse can sense shifts of weight.
No. You can attach reins to a halter if you have too. A safer option is the sidepull, which is a leather piece of equipment but does not have a bit, just metal rings on the sides. They are great for horses that can't handle a bit.
First of all you should determine what is making the horse toss his head. Is his tack ill fitting, do his teeth need done, is there something you as a rider are doing? Is he in any way uncomfortable?If none of these, then I would suggest you get a martingale. There are many varites so ask your trainer/tack shop owner which would suit your horse the best.

A headstall for a horse is a hanger put on a horse's head used for holding a bit,bosal, nose piece, or other piece of equipment to control a horse while riding. When a headstall is combined with a bit (or bosal, nose piece, etc.) the combination is known as a bridle. o OK now you know
If you mean noseband, it is the strip of leather, nylon or rope that goes around the horse's nose on the bridle. It is also called a caveson and there are many varying types including a flash or figure8 noseband. A bridle does not necessary have to have a noseband - many western headstalls do not.
the browband is used to keep the bridle from moving back, it keeps the head piece straight, if it is too small the head piece will be pulled against the ears and be uncomfortable for the horse, if it is too big the browband will stick out from the horses head, you should be able to fit one finger between the ears and the head piece and it should fit snugly around the forehead. Just one finger because if you can fit your whole hand it wouldent be right trust me and if you cant fit anyting then it way too tight.
"Headgear"?? What is "headgear"?? Do you mean "bridle"?? The only additional part of a bridle for harness horses are blinkers. They are used primarily to prevent the horse from seeing behind itself and possibly being spooked by the carriage.
