Just remember, that BITLESS isn't  PRESSURELESS.
Instead of pressure on the mouth, it is on the nerves
on the face and on the poll.

I tried a bitless bridle on my boy after he sustained
a mouth injury. Well, he hated it. I ended up taking
him to a chiro vet and found out the bitless had put
severe pressure on his poll causing him quite a bit of
pain.

They are just another tool in the tool box. You still
have to communicate with seat and leg aids and gentle
hands.
