In the case of a bridle for a riding animal, particularly for a riding horse, including at least one martingale, which is also guided below the neck of the riding animal and is fastened on a girth, it is provided that the fastening of the martingale takes place by way of at least one pull-latch lock, which includes a lock body fixedly arranged on the girth and a tie rod, which can be removed from the same by way of the action of a transverse force and is in operative connection with the martingale. Falls due to the entanglement preferably of forelegs and martingales of the bridle can be prevented when using this bridle.
