Bitless Bridles & Hackamores

Bitless bridles and hackamores let you ride without a bit, with the rein aids acting on the nose, chin and poll. Riders choose them for horses with mouth or teeth problems, for young horses, for relaxed hacking, or simply out of preference. Check your competition rules first, since bitless bridles are not allowed in every class.

Catago's Gentle Bitless Bridle comes alone or as a 2-in-1 that converts to a cavesson or anatomical bitted bridle, so you can switch between both. The PS of Sweden Hackamore is a classic alternative, and the Le Mieux Cross-functional Leather Cavesson also works with a bit. Introduce a bitless bridle in a safe arena first.
