definition: A bridle is something that lets a rider control a horse. One part of the bridle is made up of leather straps and goes around the horse's head. Attached to this is a metal thing called a "bit" that goes into the horse's mouth. Attached to the bit are reins, which are long straps that are held in the hands of the rider.
Kelly put the bridle on her horse. Then she got on and rode the horse out to the trail.
