Abstract: A bridle arrangement for a horse or like animal to control the animal's movement and behavior generally include a headstrap for maintaining the bridle arrangement in its proper position and a pair of mouth-pieces connected to the headstrap and disposed within the corners of the animal's mouth. The mouth-pieces comprise a planar body having a flange extending outwardly therefrom to which a snaffle ring and the control reins are connected. Disposed on the inwardly disposed face of the planar body is a tubular member having a rectangular throughbore extending parallel to the planar body and through which the headstrap is secured. Extending from one end of the tubular member is an elongated tongue which is generally U-shaped such that the remote second end of the tongue is parallel to the planar body and the first end of the tongue. The second end of the elongated tongue extends into the animal's mouth when the mouth-piece is in place.
