The basic purpose of the bridle is to control the direction of the horse. By control, I mean gently asking the horse. It should be used as communication not punishment. How it works depends on serveral factors. The bit can apply pressure to different parts of the horse's mouth or tongue depending what type of bit it is. Nose bands can help make the bit more effective, allowing no opportunity for the horse to open his mouth too wide and avoid the bit. The throatlatch helps keep the headstall in place. And the reins are the lines of communication from the rider's hands to the horse's mouth.

After the horse accepts this you can introduce the bit, a very gentle snaffle type bit is best, give the horse treats while it has the bit and bridle on at the same time.
