A longeing cavesson may be used with or without a bridle.

A longeing cavesson or caveson is the most commonly used piece of equipment.

On a well-trained horse, a bridle may be used instead of a longeing cavesson.

A halter is used for basic exercise when a longeing cavesson or a bridle is not available.

It may have a snap, buckle, or chain on one end to attach to a longeing cavesson or bridle.

A longeing cavesson (UK English: lungeing) is a piece of equipment used when longeing a horse.

It is the predecessor to the modern bosal-style hackamore as well as the French cavesson, particularly the modern longeing cavesson.

Another modern descendant is the modern longeing cavesson which includes a heavy noseband with a rein at the nose, but it is used for longeing, not for riding.

A longeing cavesson consists of a heavy, padded noseband, metal rings to attach the longe line, a throatlatch, and sometimes additional straps such as a jowl strap or a browband for added stability.

The key feature of a longeing cavesson is the strategic placement of rings for varying places to attach the longe line: one at the top of the nasal bone and one each side of the noseband.

Many other types of headgear may be used for longeing, but the longeing cavesson is most commonly associated with dressage and related training methods and is designed to allow more subtle communication between handler and horse.

Though the longeing cavesson looks a bit like a halter, the noseband can be tightened and rings are strategically placed on the sides and at the front of the nose for attachment of a longe line or side reins.

Still other cultures, such as that of Ancient Persia, developed the noseband as a tool for training young horses, called a hakma, and this training noseband evolved into modern equipment such as today's bosal-style hackamore and Longeing cavesson.

I do suggest that you never lead the mare in or out without having her on a lungeing cavesson and rope or a bridle with reins.a headcollar and rope is INSUFFICIENT.
