What type of restraint may each animal go out with on Shabbat?
Synopsis
An animal may go out on Shabbat only with a restraint appropriate to its guarding needs. A restraint that is too strong (excessive guarding) or decorative is considered a burden. Each species has its designated restraint: a she-camel with a nose ring, a Libyan donkey with an iron bit, a camel with a halter, a mule/donkey with a halter, and a horse with a halter or bridle.
