I really enjoyed learning more about bitless bridles. I have always ridden bitless with the horses I ride, but I found it interesting to learn more about fitting the bridle and making sure my horse is comfortable in it and pain free! It makes me happy to know my horse is happy 😊 💕
Really good course, really enjoyed this. I have Napoleon bitless and use a Hackamore. He has a big tongue which was our reason for the bitless route. I use either an English Hackamore or a Baroque, the shorter shanks. I do find using one from the ground difficult, so I use a well fitting leather headcollar for ground work.
This is an excellent introduction to bitless riding. I do wish there had been more info around when I went bitless several years ago. Basically I just used a Dr Cooks western bridle and did no transitioning whatsoever! However my horse was western and voice trained. Look forward to the full course, thank you .
