Have any of you got a bitless bridle and how do you think it helped you?
I was reading another post about head tossing and someone suggested using a bitless bridle so the horse doesn't associate a bit with heavy hands etc.
My horse head tosses. I think it is when she gets stressed but can't be certain if my contact is slightly uneven or if she feels as though she is being jabbed in the mouth. I try very hard to remain soft. So I am considering trying a bitless bridle.
I think she will be ok with it. She is a good girl to ride, doesn't take off or anything. She does nap though so that could be interesting.
Any advice?
