The Dressage Snaffle Bridle is the most common of the Dressage Bridles. This bridle can be configured with two Caveson / Noseband style options, the Standard Dressage Caveson and the Crank Dressage Caveson. The Standard Dressage Caveson can be worn loose or tight fitting to assist in keeping the horses mouth shut in the mid section of the jaw. The Dressage Crank Caveson allows for the same option, but through a leverage system on the lower part of the Caveson allowing for more pressure to be applied in keeping the mouth shut at the mid jaw level.

The Dressage Flash Snaffle Bridle is also as common as the Dressage Standard Snaffle Bridle. The difference is the inclusion of a flash strap attachment to the Caveson wich allows the added strap placement in front of the bit for keeping the horses mouth in a closed position. This strap attachment to the Dressage Caveson allows for the noseband to be secured tightly, but also added leverage to the front of the horses mouth in front of the bit and directly behind the chin. This varient of the Dressage Snaffle Bridle also comes with an option of a Dressage Crank Noseband as well.

The Dressage Drop Noseband Bridle is also a Dressage Snaffle Bridle, however there is the absence of the Caveson. The Drop Noseband is a thinner noseband that drops in front of the bit and only keeps the horses mouth closed at the front directly behind the chin. This relieves the pressure applied by Dressage Crank Nosebands and Dressage Standard Caveson Nosebands for those horses which are sensative to pressure being applied to the mid jaw area, yet require assistance in keeping their mouth closed.

The Dressage Weymouth Bridle is also very commonly referred to as the Dressage Double Bridle. This Dressage Bridle comes with a Dressage Standard Caveson or the option of a Dressage Crank Caveson. The absence of any kind of drop noseband or flash strap is due to the use of a curb bit as the secondary bit to the bradoon or snaffle bit. The double bit system used in the upper levels of dressage require an extra strap known as a bradoon strap or bit hanger for the accommodation of the bradoon to the curb bit and the extra set of reins to accommodate both bits.
