Buy from our online store here. 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. |
