	Bridle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bridle fits over the horse's head, and has the purpose of holding the bit in the horse's mouth (the exception to this is the hackamore, or bitless bridle).
		Despite the name, a snaffle bridle may be used not only with a snaffle bit, but also with almost all other types of bits, including pelhams, kimberwickes, gag bits, and curb bits.
		Should a rider need to tie his horse, it is best to either remove the bridle and put on a halter, or to put a halter on over the bridle and tie the horse using the halter only.

	Bridle - Definition of Bridle - Horse Encyclopedia
		A bridle is a piece of tack consisting of leather or nylon straps or cords that are stitched together.
		Bridles, which are most frequently used in conjunction with a bit, are secured around the head of the horse, and they are designed to aid the rider in controlling the horse.
		Although a certain degree of adjustability is built into bridles, it may be useful before buying one to measure the distance from one corner of the horse's mouth over the top of the head to the opposite corner of the mouth.

	Oilfield Glossary: Term 'bridle'
		Unlike the logging cable, the steel load-bearing element is in the center, surrounded by the conductors that are held in an insulating jacket.
		The bridle is needed for most conventional electrical logs and laterologs in which the cable armor is used as a current return.
		Electrodes may be wound on the outside of the bridle and connected to the logging tool for use as measurement references or for spontaneous potential measurements.

	* Bridle - (Horse): Definition
		Bridle : a part of a horse's saddlery or harness, which is placed about the head.

	Towing Elements: Bridle
		Attach the bridle to the keel from 1" to 14" forward of the hang point (the newer you are, the farther forward it gets attached for the first few dozen tows).
		There are 2 purposes for the shackle: to disconnect the bridle from the pilot after the tow, and as a second "pulley" to permit smooth sliding of the bridle.
		Attaching the pilot-end of the bridle to the shoulder straps.

	The Dynamic Bridle
		The lengths of the inhaul and outhauls may not necessarily be the same as on the static bridle, but it is possible to construct a dynamic bridle that has the tow-point in the same relative position as the static bridle equivalent.
		This means that the flier's actions are transfered directly to the frame of the kite without putting all the pressure into a single bridle point (which often causes the kite to fall out of the move in a somewhat ungraceful fashion).
		With a static bridle, the timing and force of each consequetive "pop" is critical to get the kite to remain flat but continuing to revolve.

	The Bitless Bridle by Dr. Robert Cook, FRCVS, Ph.D.
		Although The Bitless Bridle (BB) is indisputably a bitless bridle it bears no other resemblance to the pre-existing and traditional bitless bridles, i.e., the hackamores, bosals, and sidepulls.
		Furthermore, whereas the BB is applicable to all disciplines, the traditional bitless bridles are not.
		Unlike the mechanics of the bit, hackamore, bosal or sidepull, braking is not dependent on pain across the bridge of the nose, poll flexion and obstruction of the airway.

	The Active Bridle: Construction
		A bridle stick can be marked with measurements for many different kites, but be warned how easy it is to get confused when you have 11 versions of 3 different bridles all on the same stick.
		There are many methods employed for attaching bridles to kites; one can tie the line around a leading edge connector, tie it around the spar, under or over the fixing, perhaps also with a stopper, use a loop, use a loose end, or configure it in any other way you see fit.
		Attach the new bridle to the kite, leaving the existing one in place and then simply switch the flying lines between the different bridles to compare the flight characteristics of one against the other.

		If you've built your own design, and have to make a bridle for it the turbo bridle is a good one to start with: it works good on most kites.
		Bridling a kite is always a trade-off between contradictionary demands: you want it to fly fast (high setting), make tight turns (low setting), easy launching (high tow-point) and so on.
		The turbo bridle I use is the one with the line between the top legs: it's mesurements are determined by the lenght of the leading edge of the kite, and will fit most kites with an upper spreader.

	Anatomy Of A Horse Bridle
		The bridle's importance during a horse ride cannot be overstated, yet despite this fact many horse owners place no forethought into selecting and fitting the best bridle for their horse's needs.
		On a snaffle bridle the noseband is generally positioned a bit above the bit and is present for cosmetic purposes rather than functionality.
		Its purpose is to hold the bridle in place and prevent the horse from rubbing the bridle off his head.

	The Bitless Bridle by Dr. Robert Cook, FRCVS, Ph.D.
		The Bitless Bridle, on the other hand, allows the rider to communicate by painless pressure that is distributed around the whole of the head.
		Alternatively, if you have purchased a synthetic bridle and you like it so much that you are now kicking yourself for not having had the courage to buy a leather one, you can return the synthetic bridle and we will give you full credit for it against the upgrade.
		When the bridle is first put on, it is important that the noseband is at the correct height on the horse's head (i.e., much lower on the head than with a bitted bridle).

	Kitelife Forum > What exactly is a bridle?
		A bridle on a kite is similar; it's a line arrangement attached to the kite for steering.
		Jul 3 2006, 12:11 PM I usually refer to the bridle as any lines or arrangment of lines that are between the connection point of the flying line and the kite.
		Some bridles may be simple one line segments or can be as complex as one line that splits into 5 lines and then splits into 20-30 seperate lines before connecting to the kite (this configuration is usually found on larger power kites).

	Bridle Point Geometry Definitions
		A kite in flight does not rotate about its center of gravity because it is pinned by the bridle to the control line.
		The location of the bridle point relative to the center of gravity (cg) and center of pressure (cp) determines the balance of torques on the kite and the trim angle at which the kite flies.
		The length of the bridle is called B and is measured from the origin to the top of the kite along the bridle string.

	Bridle Design (rec.kites post)
		A long bridle puts less stress on the kite's frame but is generally less responsive.
		Normal length would be where the bridle legs are roughly the same length as the distance between the upper and lower bridle connection points.
		For any reasonable bridle dimension, you should be able to get the kite flying forwards at a good speed, with reasonable pull.

		There are all sorts of bridles: some have rollers in the center for the horse's tongue to play with, and some are made of copper or other metals to help a horse salivate.
		Leveraged bits or bridles that don't pull directly from the ring attached to the bar inside the horse's mouth can be harsh, depending on the amount of pressure applied.

		In this way, the bridle promotes improved performance without inflicting pain, without interfering with breathing or striding, and without disturbing that sense of partnership and harmony between horse and rider that is a fundamental of good horsemanship.
		There are some activities for which the bridle has not yet been thoroughly tested (polo being the one that springs to mind, at present) but it is probably only a matter of time before these gaps are filled rather than because there are contraindications.
		The bridle was exhibited at the Bruce Museum, Greenwich, CT as part of a special exhibit "Science of the Horse" which ran for 6 months in 1999.
