    USER’S MANUAL The Bitless Bridle, Inc. email: info@bitlessbridle.com Phone: 719-576-4786 5220 Barrett Rd. Fax: 719-576-9119 Colorado Springs, Co. 80926 Toll free: 877-942-4277 IMPORTANT: Read the fitting instructions on pages four and five before using. Improper fitting can result in less effective control. AVOIDANCE OF ACCIDENTS Nevertheless, equitation is an inherently risky activity and The Bitless Bridle, Inc., can accept no responsibility for any accidents that might occur. CAUTION Observe the following during first time use: When first introduced to the Bitless Bridle™, it sometimes revives a horse’s spirits with a feeling of “free at last”. Such a display of exuberance will eventually pass, but be prepared for the possibility even though it occurs in less than 1% of horses. Begin in a covered school or a small paddock rather than an open area. Consider preliminary longeing or a short workout in the horse’s normal tack. These and other strategies familiar to horse people can be used to reduce the small risk of boisterous behavior. APPLICATION The action of this bridle differs fundamentally from all other bitless bridles (the hackamores, bosals, and sidepulls). By means of a simple but subtle system of two loops, one over the poll and one over the nose, the bridle embraces the whole of the head. It can be thought of as providing the rider with a benevolent headlock on the horse (See illustration below) . Unlike the bit method of control, the Bitless Bridle is compatible with the physiological needs of the horse at excercise.

  • Approved Tack and Equipment for British Dressage Competitions
    Approved tack and equipment for British Dressage competitions Eff ective from 17 June 2019 To be used with the corresponding rules in the Members’ Handbook This revised pictorial guide has been devised to be used alongside the British Dressage Members’ Handbook for clarification on permitted tack and equipment. British Dressage endeavours to mirror FEI Rules for permitted tack and equipment. Tack reviews are ongoing but, any additional permitted tack and equipment updates will only be issued twice yearly to coincide with the beginning of the summer and winter seasons (1 December and 18 June). At all BD Championships, there will be an appointed BD Steward(s) in attendance in all warm up arenas responsible for tack and equipment checking every competitor each time they compete. This will be a physical (not just visual) tack check, including nosebands. It’s the organisers’ responsibility to appoint stewards for this function and they must be BD or FEI qualified to the appropriate level, for further guidelines on the official tack check, please see rule 106 in the 2019 Members Handbook. For the complete guidelines on permitted tack and riding the test and penalties, please see section Section 1 of the Members’ Handbook. If the equipment that you are looking at are similar to those pictured, it’s permitted for use in BD competitions. If you have a query on any tack or equipment that you’re unsure about, please email a picture of the item to the Sports Operations Officer for clarification. NB: Please note that bridles without a throatlash will be permitted for use for national competitions, for international competitions please check FEI rules.

  • Grazing Muzzles
    Grazing Muzzles At an MHCO Spring Clinc there was some interest in the grazing muzzles that I make for my horses. Below are directions for mini size muzzles and some suggested locations for materials that I have used. These muzzles can Be adapted for larger horses too and are especially good for fatter or foundered horses whose grass intake needs to Be limited. These muzzles allow lots of cool air to reach the horse's face and they can drink with them on. You can also make a totally anti-grazing muzzle, if needed, By not cutting the center hole. ____________________________________ You will need: Textaline Fabric. This is the mesh faBric used in fly masks and I have ordered it from the weB at: http://www.garysupholstery.com/textilene.html But it is availaBle at other sites as well. Do not use screen, it is not strong enough, won’t last long and may injure your horse. Other mesh faBrics that I have tried do not seem to wear well as the Textaline. Two plastic horseshoe pads…the thinnest and cheapest type is best as they are easier to cut. Metal rivets. These are the ones that you get from a harness maker and set with a hammer. A halter that you will Be permanently attaching the muzzle to. Strong sewing thread such as fishing line (not the clear plastic stuff) or upholstery thread. A large eye needle such as a darner or needlepoint needle is good. You don’t really need it to have a sharp point. Instructions: Cut a hole in the center of the Both of the horseshoe pads.
