[RC] bitless bridle vs Hackamore - Betty Demar Mueller
Lori:
You are paying the bill on being taught
dressage. Stick to your guns and insist on using the bitless bridle.
Put one on your head and do the gentle pull with the reins one at a time and
you'll see how there is no misunderstanding about wanting that turn or stop (2
reins for the stop). I used to use bits of various types; but being in
endurance.....one wants to be able to control the horse gently and also allow
that critter to eat and drink easily during long rides. The bitless bridle
does all of the above (I am talking about the figure 8 bridles) as are found in
