Bridle
That part of the harness which is put upon the horse's head. It consists of a long strap or cheekpiece running down the horse's head, to which are fastened the blinkers by the eye, the headpiece running behind the ear and the bit in the horse's mouth. The noseband goes round the head above the nostrils. The browband or frontal passes from the top of the cheekpiece around the forehead, and the throatlash from the same point passes round beneath.
