In case you are wondering where you can compete at dressage in a bitless bridle, there are now two online competition options.

www.interdressage.com welcomes bitless riders alongside bitted, whileE-Dressage has bitless classes. There is also a Western Dressage Association of America that allows Western bitless bridles in theirequipment guide.

Various other organisations will also allow bitless bridles in their dressage events and some of these such as the Netherlands (KNHS) are listed along with others on the Bitless Resources page here. If you have any suggestions for adding to this growing list please contact Cynthia using the form on this page.

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.

See LightRider Bitless Bridle in action during the 'Anyone can go Bitless' Education Sessions at Equitana on Thursday (15th Nov.) @ 4pm in the Epsom Arena, and Friday (16th) @ 9.45am in the Hygain Arena. 
This year Cynthia Cooper is being assisted by Kim Barker and her ponies (with young riders) along with Leah Sharp and her Andalusian, Breo who does Medieval re-enactments. It will be an entertaining and informative time showcasing bitless riding.

LightRider Bitless Bridles will be available at the Natural Horse World booth, no. 205 in the Grand Hall. We hope to see you there :)
