Are figure 8 bridles good?
It depends what you are using it for. Generally figure-8 bridles are used on eventers, jumpers or equitation horses. It helps keep the horse's jaw closed for more control by the rider.

Why do some bridles have both a weymouth bit and a snaffle bit?
Sometimes two bits, a weymouth and a snaffle are used together for more control over a horse - this is called a 'double bridle'. Two sets of reins are used, the lower pair (the weymouth I think) is held in the fingers as you would ordinarily, whereas the other set is held in the same way, but instead of the rein running through the ring and little finger, it lies between the middle and ring finger. Double bridles are used mostly by the mounted police, professional dressage riders and on strong/unruly horses. Hope this helped

Do western bridles differ from English bridles?
Yes, Western and English bridles differ greatly. For one thing, they have completely different uses. For another thing, there are many types of English bridles, all used for specific events. Western bridles are pretty close to each other, although some do differ. English bridles are very complex and have many straps and different bits or reins. Western bridles are mush simpler, and do not have nose bands or chin straps. Some have throat latches, but many don't. I could go on forever listing the differences, but I'll just leave it at that.
