<br />Ahhh ha! I found it on page 134.

"Bit and bridoon is a term applied to the curb and snaffle used in combination, in which BIT refers to the curb, and BRIDOON to the snaffle. Not only is it the standard type for military service, but it also is the one most frequently used for park riding, cross country riding, schooling and training horses, and playing polo."

That would be an excerpt out of "Horsemanship and Horsemastership"

Was a double bridle that frequently used for park, and cross country riding during that time period?

Interesting question, I may copy and post it to the double bridle thread on the general forum.

Bumped up due to being discussed in another thread.
