Horse Tack – Taking Apart the Bridle
Understanding what all those Straps are for
While most horse people are familiar with what parts make up a bridle, it is remarkable how few truly understand what goes into it. With so many parts, it is no wonder that people don’t consider the reasons for them. In fact, it is not unusual to see someone throw together a simple bridle that does little more than hold the bit in the horse’s mouth, and ride off without a care.
So what are all those straps, and what are they for?
Probably the most often misunderstood part of the bridle is the noseband. Many people believe that the noseband is there to hold the horse’s mouth closed. Of course, if you look at the positioning of the noseband, it is quickly evident that no matter how tight you fasten it, the noseband could never hold the mouth shut.
Interestingly enough, the noseband is the least necessary part of the bridle. In fact, many western bridles skip it altogether. With very little actual functionality, the cavasson noseband is purely there for looks! With varieties ranging from broad to narrow, and from raised to flat, riders choose a look that best suits their horse. While there are specialty nosebands that are more than just decoration, the average bridle’s noseband isn’t really necessary at all.
So if the noseband is useless, what about the browband? While it often makes a fashion statement, much like the noseband, the browband is an essential part of the bridle. Without the browband, the crown piece would slip back down the horse’s neck, pulling on the bit, and making the bridle uncomfortable for the horse. While some western bridles only use a half browband, circling around one ear, the purpose is the same.
Another strap that sometimes seems useless is the throatlatch. While it seems obvious that it is there to hold the bridle on, generally the bridle will stay in place without the throatlatch at all. Basically it acts as a safety net, to hold the bridle in place should something happen that threatens to pull the bridle over the horse’s ears.
The cheek pieces have another obvious use. They act as the connection between the crown piece and the bit. But why do they need to be separate from the crown piece? Without separate check pieces it would be difficult to adjust the length of the bridle for different horses. With two adjustable cheek pieces, it is possible to fine tune the tightness of the bit in the horse’s mouth. A single buckle on the side would not allow for this fine tuning.
Of course the reins require no explanation. But, do most reins have a braided appearance? Is this more fashion? No. The laced part of the reins is there to offer the rider a better grip. When a horse becomes sweaty, the reins can become quite slippery. Some reins have alternate forms of grips such as rubber coating, small crosspieces or actual braiding of the leather. It is possible to find smooth reins, but they are uncommon.
So now you know the basics of what makes up a bridle. Each strap has its unique purpose, even if it is a frivolous one.

The Art of Classical Horsemanship $49.99 Egon von Neindorff dedicated his life to the knowledge and promotion of the classical art of riding. He never wanted to be a reformist but purely an interpreter. He truly understood the philosophy of classical riding and was therefore able to teach his numerous national and international students to develop their own style. The essence of classical dressage requires a deep affection for the horse as well as understanding, sensitivity, humility, and devotion. In this book, von Neindorff illustrates in more than 30 chapters his profound understanding of the natural training of horses. It encompasses a body of knowledge that was previously only taught at his riding establishment in Karlsruhe. |

Show Reins
can i ride 2 handed in a western pleasure and western horsemanship show class?
my horse kind of knows how to neck rein but is better with a lil neck and a lil direct…do i have to ride one handed of can i cross the reins and ride 2?
Both AQHA and Paint allow you to ride two handed in any Western class as long as your horse is a Junior horse, and is in a non-leverage bit. (Paint calls a Junior horse five and younger, I believe AQHA says four and under) So if your horse is a Junior, you are free to show both Western Pleasure and horsemanship in either a snaffle or bosal, and ride with two hands. But if you are showing an older horse, you must ride in a leverage bit, and you must ride with one hand (no cheating, even for a single stride, or you can be eliminated, this is true in trail, western riding pattern, reining, etc as well)
And if you are riding a junior horse but happen to have them in a shanked bit, they still must be rode with one hand, you are not allowed two hands on a leverage bit no matter how young the horse is.
Of course, these are the AQHA/APHA rules, and many shows run by slightly different rules, so there may be times you can get away with it. I would find out what rules the show is following, and then check your situation. I do know that at 4-H or youth Open show level many youth do ride with two hands, but if you choose to do that, you would be wise to go into a non-leverage bit or you’re going to get comments from the judge. If your horse needs a leverage bit of some type to be safe for you, then consider a kimberwich, which at least doesn’t look too leveragey, you might get away with that and two hands under some judges.
Lastly, check the rule book for how you must hold your hands when you ride two handed. The APHA rule books (which I show under) insists you must hold both reins with both hands, you cannot allow the long end of the rein to just drape across their neck and only hold the end nearest to the bit, or you are eliminated. This is not a rule in most Open shows, but you will want to check that you are doing things properly. It is quite disgusting to have a super class and then discover you were eliminated because of something minor like that!
Neck reining takes a fairly high degree of training, and it must be constantly maintained. If you decide you need to show your horse one handed, I would suggest putting regular work into it. You may even benefit from buying some good show training DVDs, by someone like Cleve Wells or Clinton Anderson, or see a Western trainer for lessons on how to improve your horse’s responsiveness and obedience to neckreining!
Good luck.
