Bitless Bridle vs Pressure Halter - Page 2

At the moment I'm kind of digging this one, but I've never heard of it before. What do y'all think? I can't find a review of it on Horsetopia.

theonly thing i see wrong with it is that it looks loose maybe not tight enough? I like rivervu2 bridle a lot better

You have to decide if you want something that works on nose pressure alone or would you prefer to have the added security of a cross under. If you think nose pressure will work for your mare then pick up a cheap indian bosal and try it. Otherwise, research the benefits of a cross under and shop for a good deal.

There are a lot of options out there and you may need to try a few of them before settling on one. Keep in mind that, if your daughter shows, there may be restrictions on using a bitless bridle in the show ring.

I think your daughter would do better by using a snaffle bit. Most horses happen to prefer one with an iron mouth and loose rings which are usually stainless. And it's one of the lower priced ones. If she shows she will need to use a bit and changing at the last minute doesn't work. The horse will mouth the bit, a natural reaction. And some make it difficult to bridle but that means more groundwork.
