Marianne and Pollo

Going Bitless: I recommend it to anyone still hesitating. My horse stands perfectly still to have the Bitless Bridle slipped over his ears. Out riding he listens to my body and hands and communication is much improved. Riding past the 'dreaded pigs' last week it was clear that he is concentrating more and that he seems to find it easier to overcome his nervousness without the irritation of a bit in his mouth. My rein contact is also more consistent.
'Bitless' appealed to me for some time but I talked myself out of it with 'if it isn't broke don't fix it', as Pallo was never a problem to tack up or ride, but now his whole behaviour is saying: " Thanks, that feels much better" | |
