têtière

CONT: La monture. Les parties qui la composent sont : la têtière prolongeant les montants et passant derrière les oreilles. Des boucles permettent d'ajuster ces éléments à la dimension de la tête du cheval de manière à placer l'embouchure exactement là où elle doit être.

CONT: All bridles should be properly fitted, and the headstall should be located so that it neither slides back on the horse's neck nor pulls up against his ears.
OBS: The ""crown piece"" or ""crownpiece"" is sometimes a headstall as in the ""sliding ear headstall"", sometimes part of a headstall as in the ""browband headstall"" made of three main parts: the crown piece, throatlatch and browband.
