A brief history of bridles.

As riders, we know that the bridle is a piece of equipment that is used to direct our horses. But where did the bridle originate? It’s interesting to note that the earliest record of using metal bits in a bridle dates back to the 8th and 14th centuries BC. Before that, ancient tribes used things such as bone, wood, rawhide and rope, as bits for bridles.

Horsemanship and riding were known to be very basic back then, as horses were often used for warriors, who would ride out into battle. Bridles were used then to steer their steeds into a specific direction, slow their horses down and control the speed at which their horses ran. Whereas nowadays, bridles are used to train horses in certain disciplines such as dressage, show jumping and even Western riding.

Luckily with time, horsemanship and bridles have evolved, especially during the 18th Century, where trainers adopted a more humane way of training their horses; making sure that bridles were made for comfort when it came to riding.

In ancient times bridles were not comfortable for horses. We can’t even imagine placing bone or wood in a horse’s mouth as a bit; or using rope as a bridle. But luckily today, bridles have evolved greatly and are made to provide comfort for our horses in every way.
