What is a "bridle"?
A bridle is a piece of equipment used to control a horse while riding or leading it. It consists of straps that fit around the horse's head, including a bit that rests in the horse's mouth, and reins that the rider holds to guide the horse. The bridle helps the rider communicate with the horse through gentle pressure on the mouth, ears, and head. There are different types of bridles, each designed for specific riding activities, and they are often made from leather or synthetic materials for durability and comfort.
