Re: [RC] bitless bridle - rides2fari have recently begun riding my 8-year-old in a bitless bridle. he is actually MORE responsive to my legs and seat than he was before. but i'm still afraid of cantering him quickly You're wise to be careful. Have you seen their 1/4 page ad in the new Endurance News? It says, "The Secret is out! In a recent endurance test over a measured course, canter speed was increased by 12.6% Why? Our bridle increases stride and liberates breathing" "Hello?????" Has it occured to these people that we are using head- gear to *slow* the horse? Heck, if I ride Kaboot with just a neck-rope I'll bet he'll increase his stride length about 80% and I'll be dead soon. I just found that ad amusing.
