RE: [RC] [RC] [RC] bitless bridles - terry banister

Just an FYI,
the PonyBoy Bitless is very different than the Dr. Cook Bitless Bridle (which is patented). The PonyBoy Bitless is a ROPE HALTER style. It crosses under the jowles, putting pressure there and on the nose bone. It does not put pressure on the poll. The leather nose piece is just a cover - inside is the single strand of rope (stronger persuasion than double strand or flat leather).. The reins are included in the price.

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.
