I prefer to NOT have the snap on bit hangers. Too
bulky, and really not as easy to slip a bridle on and off quickly as one with
a separate headstall. I have a bridle made by Animal Tacker that I have been
very pleased with. Lightweight halter, and then a headstall that slips on
over, and has a fastener at the poll. I do not use that halter to tie over
night, but have tied with it on the trail. Here is a photo. I added bridle
rosettes. (reminds me of my childhood bridle for my pony!)
