Leather Headstall Bridle

About Leather Headstall Bridle

• Headstall: The main part of the bridle that goes over the horse's head and holds the other components in place.
• Crownpiece: The portion that rests behind the horse's ears.
• Browband or Earpiece: A strap across the forehead (browband) or a loop over one or both ears (earpiece), helping to keep the bridle in place.
• Cheekpieces: Connect the bit to the headstall and are adjustable to ensure the bit sits correctly in the horse's mouth.
• Throatlatch: A strap that goes under the horse's throat and connects to the headpiece, preventing the bridle from slipping off over the horse's head.
• Noseband: Encircles the horse's nose, assisting in control and potentially preventing the horse from opening its mouth excessively or evading the bit.
• Bit: A metal mouthpiece that rests in the horse's mouth and is attached to the headstall. It allows the rider to communicate with the horse through rein pressure.
• Reins: Long straps held by the rider, connecting to the bit and used to guide and control the horse.
