No experience with a bitless bridle, but I
have a horse that prefers a rope halter to a bit so that’s the way we
ride, even at the start of 50s and even Tevis (although that wasn’t
planned, but I’d lost the bit during weigh-in). He’s very
controllable and happy that way (and therefore I’m happy). My other two
go well without a bit thanks to the little S hackamore. It just depends on what
the horse and you are comfortable with. Make sure the horse likes it before
just accepting that that’s what he’s always been ridden with
though. When we got Storm he was in a kimberwicke,
had been for at least 4 years, and he hated it.

Hi guys, I am looking at a horse next week and he has only ever been
ridden in a Bitless Bridle. I have no experience with
these and was just wondering how they work. Does anybody ride in them? What do
any of you who have experiences with them feel about them? Thank you!
