Ridecamp: RE: [RC] [RC] Bitless Bridle

I also make a version of a bitless bridle or crosspull.  This version
does not have the rings hanging below the noseband.  Rather, the reins
are extended and connect to rings below the poll.  They can be entirely
removed (allowing for a halter set up) and can also be more easily used
with a running martingale.

I've also started making a running martingale attachment with scissor
snaps and then O-rings at the rein connection.  That way you can put the
O-rings on once and just connect/disconnect the scissor snaps at any
point.  This makes it much easier if you get off and lead or tail or
decide not to use the RM for a ride.

The bridle is called the Freedom Bridle if anyone is interested in
checking it out (under Bitless Headstalls on www.mossrockendurance.com).

Susan,
You can shorten the ring strap at the other end by the snap--it's
attached 
with a conway & not sewn in isn't it?
Sorry I can't help with the training part, since my mare basically
ignores 
nose pressure & has her way with me. I've stuck to using my bit.
