Hot Forum Topics - Bitless Bridles
Tuesday February 27, 2007
"I recently bought a horse that has never had a bit in his mouth (hard to believe, but true). He has only been ridden in a Bosal. I'm thinking about a Dr. Cooks bitless bridle and wonder if anyone has had experience with them?" It's no surprise to many forum members that bitless bridles can be a useful tool. Read their experiences with riding without a bit.

Buy the Bitless Bridle - It is the best thing I have ever done for my horses. Don’t wait another day. You have nothing to lose because if you don’t like it (which you will love it) they will refund your money 100%. If I had one wish it would be that every horse in the world could have the bitless bridle and never suffer the pain and anxiety
the bit causes. I can’t tell you what a difference you will see and feel. You must find out for yourself! Amazing!
If this horse has been ridden in a bosal, why not continue? The bitless bridle is an entirely different system. There is slow and very little release when the rein is given float. Horses that have been ridden in traditional English bridles with flash and cavessons seem to have more success in the transition. If you ride English, there is no rule that says you can’t ride in a bosal and in Western circles, a good hackemore horse is highly respected. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. If you are unsure about how to handle a hackemore and mecate rein, get some good instruction.
