Although horses can be worked without them or with substitutes, a bridle with one or two bits can add extra finesse. The bridle allows you to communicate and control your mount. For it to work properly, you need to select the bridle carefully according to the needs of you and your horse as well as the type of performance you expect. It must also be assembled correctly. Although there are many styles of bridles, the procedures for assembling and using them are similar. The three basic parts of a bridle All bridles have three basic parts: bit, reins and headstall (Figure 1). The bit is the primary means of communication. The reins allow you to manipulate the bit and also serve as a secondary means of communica- tion. The headstall holds the bit in place and may apply Figure 1.

Check saddlery and equipment, and the horse, after the specified number of rides. Inform judges of any delays or other concerns. Radio for help for ring repairs or emergencies, as directed according to the Accident Preparedness Plan. Depending on the layout, number of rings and other factors, more than one ring steward may be appointed to share these duties. 2 SaddlerySaddlery InspectionsInspections Ring stewards must check saddlery and inspect bits and spurs on both sides of the horse for at least one- third of the horses in each class. In some classes, inspection is required for each horse. Inspection of saddlery and bits should be done at the direction of the Technical Delegate. 3 SaddlerySaddlery InspectionsInspections Management must provide (preferably latex free) disposable protective gloves, at least one per horse. (While one glove is required for USEF competitions, two are required for FEI competitions – and two are recommended for USEF competitions.) The rider should see the inspector put on a fresh glove.

  • Learn About the Double Bridle—The Bits, How It Works, How It Fits and How to Hold the Reins
    Learn about the double bridle—the bits, how it works, how it fits and how to hold the reins. By Gerhard Politz Illustrations by Sandy Rabinowitz iders working toward Fourth Level and beyond frequently ask the question, "When is my horse ready for the double bridle?" The answer depends on how your horse accepts the criteria of the Pyramid of Training. In particular, you must evaluate his development of impul- sion and connection. Your horse must work onto a steady contact to the bit. He must flex and bend willingly and fairly evenly in both directions. Ideally, you should be able to feel your horse's hind legs engaging with energy through his back and onto your hands. He must also be able to work with some degree of collection. A question seldom asked by riders is: "When am I ready to use the double bridle?" The answer is: When you can keep your hands still and have learned how to ride half halts. That's the simplified version, but it involves a bit more than that. You must be able to ride your horse resolutely forward, create impulsion as needed and establish an elastic connection. That's already a tall order. You must also carry your hands correctly, holding your fists upright, thumbs on top and pinkies underneath—no "cocktail shaking." Don't hold your hands apart like you are riding August 2008 Dressage Today 47 • Use of THE DOUBLE BRIDLE ANATOMY OF THE SKULL Fitting the Double Bridle To understand the function of the double bridle, and the curb bit in par- ticular, we need to examine the points of contact made in the horse's mouth and on certain areas of the head.
