🐴 Bridle and Halter
Both a bridle and a halter are essential pieces of equipment in horse care and riding, each serving a unique purpose:

• 🐎 Bridle
  • The bridle is part of the tack used specifically for riding. It includes a headpiece, cheek pieces, browband, noseband, and the bit (mouthpiece).
  • The bit sits in the horse’s mouth, allowing the rider to guide and steer the horse through the reins. The bridle provides control and direction, making it essential for riding.
• 🏇 Halter
  • The halter is used for leading or tying up the horse, such as during grooming or when guiding it to the pasture. It consists of a headpiece, noseband, and throatlatch, but is bitless – it doesn’t go into the horse’s mouth.
  • The halter is more comfortable and less restrictive than a bridle, making it ideal for everyday handling, though it’s generally not used for riding.
