Modifiable Barefoot bridle made of soft leather

You can modify the bridle to fit small pony heads to warm- and cold blood horses. Headpiece, nose band and throat-lash are from both sides adjustable. You can easily buckle a bit on and off.  The whole throat lash is removable, so that you can also use the bridle as a halter. The nose band is padded softly. Our recommendation: Use a loose setting of the head piece and the nose band fitting in order to guarantee free breathing of the horse. The bridle comes with clip on leather reins and a beautiful lead rope made from leather and with a panic buckle.

Barefoot Bitless bridle Walnut

Riding without force - for all styles of riding

Our bitless bridle evenly and smoothly distributes all pressure over the horses nose, his jaw and his poll. This bridle doesn´t apply punctual pressure but ensures painless aids from the reins, thus creating a trusting companionship between horse and rider.
The throatlatches are prolonged reins, which cross under the horse´s chin and through rings that are connected directly to the noseband. This ensures, that all aids are easily understood by the horse. Giving to the bit is more easily achieved, without wrong flexion at the poll or a tilt or twist there. Bitless bridles enable riding with the smallest aids possible, meaning a short impuls with the right rein creates a painfree but distinct pressure to the left side of the horse´s head. The horse moves away from that pressure, therefore turns his head to the right. Short and soft pressure applied with both reins - your horse will give to that and tuck his head.
Can be used for any style of riding: Dressage, Jumping, Western, Endurance or Trailrides - also for lungeing. Like with any new bit, try in an enclosed riding arena first. The noseband should be fitted so that it lays 2 cm above the mouth crease - there should be room for two fingers.
Our bitless bridle is extremely smooth: the noseband as well as the browband are padded softly. The crownpiece is extra wide and thickly padded to reduce any pressure on the sensitive acupuncture points behind the ears.

Meroth Leatherbit

The softest bit available on today's market. The patented Meroth bit has been around for many years in Europe and is recommended by many equine physio's, equine dentists and Craniosacral practitioners over there.

It is suitable for any horse, particularly those with a sensitive mouth and any rider in search for a very gentle bit that will allow for precise and subtle communication. Natalie and other riders who tried this bit found that the horses are more relaxed while being ridden with contact and while bridling up.

The Meroth bit can be used without additional headpiece (bridle), you can clip the reins right into the D's while the chin strap secures the bit in the horse's mouth. You can also attach the bit to any bridle.

The Meroth bit is available in 3 sizes: Pony, Cob and Full

Barefoot Amber sidepull with reins.

Gorgeous plaited leather sidepull in a rich light brown colour with matching reins. A sidepull rely's on nose pressure and is the least severe style of bitless bridle available. They work perfectly for the trail with clear signals for stopping, backing and turning.

Traditionally sidepulls are used to break in horses in southern Europe and other places, the horses learn to yield to minimal pressure on the head perfectly before the introduction of any style of bit. A sidepull is not meant to be ridden with continous contact but rather for loose rein riding.

Due to no knots sitting on the sensitive face of the horse a sidepull is much more humane than any ropehalter bridle with knots. The release is instant and the control is very good without inflicting any pain.

Price: $199.00 inc GST

Natalie: I am a big fan of sidepulls and find that horses prefer them to most other bridles. To date no horse has ever attempted to run away with me ridden in one and I have used them for several years as my bitless bridle of choice on the trail.
