Without a bridle, or a saddle,
across a thing I ride a-straddle.
And those I ride, by help of me,
though almost blind, are made to see.
What am I?

Not much into riddles, but, this one's easy...You're a pair of GLASSES. The nose is the thing you are straddling, and you help the eyes to see.

Here's another one.

Difficulty: Not so easy. Points:100 Sometimes it glitters, but often not;
May be cold, or may be hot!
Ever changing though the eye can't measure,
Concealed within may be many treasures.
Some find safety beneath its gate,
While some may die beneath its weight!
Old and broken, it brings forth life.
What is it?

Hmmm...this one kind of threw me off. I was thinking earth with the old and broken, it brings forth life, but it doesn't glitter...and some may die beneath its WEIGHT...Haha, a boulder, or more specifically a ROCK!!

Sir, I bear a rhyme excelling
In mystic force and magic spelling
Celestial sprites elucidate
All my own striving can't relate

Can you decipher me?

We are three genies capable of independent existence.
But bring any two of us together
And we shall summon the missing third
To respond to your beck-and-call within his capabilities.

Man would welcome any opportunity to fit an unwelcome harness
on our first whilst it is in full gallop.
Thus the first will conspire with our second to tackle the quest
To subdue the third to be a slave at your behest.

Our second was so repulsive as to be banished forthwith
to the far-flung corners of the globe.
His feet planted firmly on terra firma,
On his pate, an insecure white cap.

The repulsion of the second is surpassed by how shocking is the third.
Whilst our first, lest we forget, has been cursed by the gods
To remain forever in a state of perpetual restlessness.
Who are these restless, repulsive, shocking, yet subservient genies?
