Many times, a person without a lot of equestrian knowledge will confuse horse halters with a bridle. The main difference between them is that a halter is used by someone on the ground to lead or tie up the horse, but a bridle is used by a person riding the horse that has been trained to use it properly. The horse halters are safer to use than a bridle when it comes to tying, because the bit of the bridle could injure the mouth of the horse if the horse sets back while tied with a bridle. Usually a halter is combined with a lead or a leash when used to tie the horse to something. Also, bridles are usually made with lighter materials and will break. Of course, there is more precise control when a bridle is used properly. This is the main difference between bridles and horse halters. My daughter loves horses with a passion, and has taught me a lot about them and the equipment used on them. Wikipedia was used for some of the information in this article, and it's a great place to learn about new things.
