Here in the US, Western bridles do not have that dropped noseband or any noseband. They have just a browband or more often a one-ear band. They are very simple compared to an English bridle. The Mil Horse bridle is something you might train a very young horse in, but never ride a trained adult horse in Western. The bit is called a snaffle, and is normally an English bit or a Western training bit. I have attached some Western bridle pics. You can all go look at [www.statelinetack.com](http://www.statelinetack.com)  I was looking for a one ear. The reins for a Western horse are always split - unless he is in training. In the US, anyway. The two sides of the reins are never buckled together accept in English bridles.
