What is the difference between a bridle and a halter?

The main difference is that a halter is used by the equestrian to lead or tie up the horse on the ground. A bridle is generally used while horseback riding. A bridle usually has a bit that sits in the horse’s mouth and is connected to two reins.

Should you leave a headcollar on a horse?

It is not recommended to leave a headcollar or halter on a horse that is unattended, even if it’s a breakaway halter. Leaving the halter on unattended when the horse is in the field, paddock or stables could lead to injuries if the collar gets caught on something.
