Horse bridles and headstalls are a very important part of any equestrian's tack. Regardless of riding style or level of advancement, equestrians rely on bridles to communicate effectively with their horses. If the bridle is not quality made and in good condition, it is only a matter of time before both rider and horse begin to suffer.



In layman's terms, a bridle is the standard headgear for both Western and English horses. Three important elements make up a bridle: the bit, the reins and the headstall. The bit is a metal bar which is designed to fit inside the horse's mouth. Attached to the bit are the reins, which are used by riders to give commands. The headstall is the strap which helps secure the bridle in place behind the horse's ears.



Bridles and headstalls are crucial to riding. Without them, a rider is unable to control the speed and direction of the horse. Everything4Equine.com has a terrific collection of bridles and headstalls to suit every type of horse and rider.
