How is a bridle important in horse riding?

A bridle is used to control a horse or pony when you are riding them. Bridles have a "bit" a piece that fits in the horse's mouth and usually a leather strap that fastens behind the jaw of the hourse. When the shanks that are attached to the bit's bridle are pulled by a set of reins that the rider holds, it puts pressure on the horse's jaw and therefore you are able to stop or guide the horse. A bridle is used for a little extra control.If you have a trained horse you will not need to tug and pull a bunch.If you are more experienced you can use your "aids".Your hips,legs and eyes.Your horse can sense shifts of weight.
