LightRider Bridles improved.

LightRider Bitless bridle improvements include a new noseband to cheekpiece attachment and new chinstrap keepers shown here on the Western bridle.

A new shipment of stock has just arrived so we now have most of theLightRider Bitless Nosebands, English Bitless Bridles, Euro Bitless Bridlesand Stockhorse Bitless bridles people were waiting for.

Cynthia Cooper, designer of the LightRider Bitless Bridle is always making improvements to the bridles. The new stock now has better chinstrap keepers made from the same soft, flexible material as the chinstrap, and the buckle has returned as the favourite form of adjustment.

All new bridles coming into stock now have an updated noseband to cheekpiece attachment the same as the Bitless Noseband design which has proven to be stronger.
The cheek pieces also have additional keepers to hold any excess length tidy when the higher holes are used, except for biothane bridles as the biothane material sits flatter. If anyone needs keepers for cheekpieces or chinstraps please contact us and we will send some free of charge.

Bitless Collection videos

On the Photo/Video page I have included some new videos showing how soft vertical flexion and a responsive relaxed horse can lead to true collection via self carriage. 
The first one features Instructor Suzanne Bellette with her colourful Paint gelding, Tombay who developed some unusual front end soreness that seemed to involve the bit.
Suzanne added the LightRider Bitless Noseband to her bridle and found it worked brilliantly with no more recurring front end soreness and a happier bitless horse.
In the second video, another NSW Instructor,  Shelly Broomham shows the start of training her horse to high level dressage bitless, treeless and barefoot.  Although she is riding bitless she still applies Classical principals to his training.

The black leather samples of the LightRider English, Stockhorse and Bitless Noseband have arrived and look stunning. They are nicely padded and with neatly stitched noseband and browband, they will shine in the competition arena.
I will have photos up soon, and hope to have at least the Bitless Nosebands available around the end of March - just waiting on the brown leather sample swatches to arrive before I place an order.
If you'd like to be notified of when they are in stock please sign using the form at the bottom of this page.
