Bridles do not offer any perks or buffs but are required to steer the horse. You can use any bridle with any other riding tack pieces to mix English, Western & Adventure. The only exception is Adventure Bridles require a full matching set to use [Horse Armor](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/horse-armor), but once the armor is put on the bridle can be 'hotswapped' out for different versions. **Leading** SWEM Bridles have reins that can be used as a normal minecraft lead so never need to worry about forgetting your lead on an adventure. To use the reins as a lead, shift + left click a bridled [SWEM Horse](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/swem-horse "SWEM Horse") with an empty hand - doing so will instantly put them on lead and remove the reins from their neck. To put the reins back over their neck, right click the horse OR shift + left click them again and they will no longer be on a lead. **Other** Prior to 1.20, Horses cannot eat while wearing a bridle, but can still drink. Hitched horses can do neither interaction. Bridles also prevent the horse from lying down to sleep at night, and wake them up if equipped while they are sleeping. --- #### **Gallery** **** Shown: Adventure (1) > English (2) > Western (16) variant bridles. --- #### **Known Issues** If you find an issue, please report it to our bugs channel on **[Discord](https://discord.com/channels/715626418893095012/898242623716855868)**.
