Bitless riding has become more and more popular. As some horses cannot be ridden with a bit for medical reasons and other horses may perform better on a bitless bridle after trying it out. There are also riders who prefer to ride their horse without a bit because they find it more pleasant and friendly for their horse.
Do you want to start bitless riding or try if this suits you and your horse? QHP has a number of suitable bridles for you.
Bitless Bridle Anatomical
There are various kinds of bitless bridles. The most well-known is the sidepull. With this bridle, the pressure of the reins is focused on the nose as the reins are attached to the sides of the horse's nose. Are you interested in riding with a sidepull? If so, the bridle Anatomical of QHP is a suitable option. This bridle is anatomically shaped and ensures that the nerves and sensitive points of the horse's head are avoided as much as possible. Therefore the bridle is suitable for horses that are sensitive on the head. Also, the noseband is specially shaped so that it lies higher on the nose and does not touch the molars.
Bitless Bridle Sunna
There are also chin cross and jawcross variants which has more effect on the horse than the sidepull. As can also be deduced from the names, the chin-crossed bridle gives pressure on the nose and cheeks and the jaw-crossed bridle gives pressure on the horse's nose and jaw.
The "friendliness" of a bridle depends in part on the rein pressure the rider is applying.
