Draft Horse Double Bridles

How To Use A Double Bridle

By Ashlee Simmons, eHow Contributor

A double bridle is used by advanced riders and horses in a variety of English disciplines, including saddle seat, hunters, jumpers and dressage. Most commonly used in the higher levels of dressage, the double bridle is a wonderful way to lighten and brighten your horse's movements. When you half-halt your horse, the action of the curb bit enhances collection by driving him onto his hindquarters. Before using a double bridle, however, both horse and rider must be properly prepared and ready. For riders, this may take years of practice, including riding many different horses in a variety of situations. For the horse, there are ways to evaluate his training and determine that he is at the correct level of fitness and ability. When both parties are properly prepared, the double bridle is the next step to superior riding and a wonderful partnership with your horse.
