Quick Summary
A double bridle is a type of bridle used in advanced horse training. It consists of two bits: a snaffle and a curb bit, placed together in the horse's mouth. Each bit has separate reins, allowing for more precise communication and control. The snaffle bit is typically a jointed mouthpiece, while the curb bit can have a port in the center for increased leverage. This equipment is used to achieve refined movements and responsiveness in horses during advanced schooling and dressage.1
