A bitless bridle, used for training young horses, often western ones but there are English variations.
A bitless bridle is often referred to as a hackamore or a bridle without a bit.
I use a hackamore when my horse gets a sore in her mouth of if my bridle breaks lol. It puts pressure on their nose and none in their mouth which seems a bit more pleasing to me, but on the other hand, you dont have as much control of your horse, but i jump my thouroughbred in it and she's quite a spazz but with the hackamore she's better than she is with a snaffle so i like it.
A headpiece in horse terms typically refers to the part of the bridle that goes over the horse's head and includes the crownpiece, browband, cheekpieces, and throatlatch. It is used to secure the bridle in place and provide attachment points for reins and other pieces of tack.
A Mechanical Hackamore has shanks and puts pressure on the poll and chin much like a curb bit does minus the pressure in the mouth. The mechanical hackamore is more severe. The hackamore hasa simple bosal nose peice. A bosal has no shanks. It is more like a halter with a very stiff noseband

A bitless bridle is a hackamore
Although many tack catalogs list Hackamores with the bits they are actually nosebands. The hackamore noseband can be made of several different things and that will affect their severity. A bicycle chain hackamore shouldn't be used by anyone. So long as the Hackamore is adjusted properly and used correctly then it's not going to be sever, but used in the wrong way and it can break a horses nasal bones.
Yes, but keep in mind that a hackamore already puts alot of pressure on the horse. It would be better to stop substituting training with gadgets, because it will come back to bite you later.
Hackamores are bridles without bits, so you do not put bits on them.

A broken snaffle bit, and a hackamore works really good for me to!
