Welcome to
the Bitless Revolution!
 

Shire Horse in UK will never see a bit; only ridden in a Nurtural Bitless BridlePeople everywhere are abandoning the centuries-old tradition of putting cold harsh bits in a horse’s mouth.
 

 "I don't plan to ever use a bit on her.  I can't stand the thought of putting a piece of hard cold metal in her mouth."  Belinda
  "
My horse will never know the pain of a bit again and I can ride without fear that my heavy hands will injure or scare him." Tom
  "I am thinking this year I will have some bits tied with red ribbons hanging on my Christmas tree, all they are now is tack box ornaments that I will never use again." Heather

People are choosing ‘science’ over ‘tradition’ – doing better in Nurtural bitless bridles:
   Research clearly shows that bits cause many injuries.   The look on any horse’s face shows that bits create discomfort and distraction.    Natural horsemanship has proven that horses respond to gentle pressure and release.
  Thousands of people worldwide have shown that you can ride, drive, and train horses better with a Nurtural bitless bridle.   ....

The patented Nurtural Bitless BRIDLETM  improves both your relationship with your horse and your performance together.  Trainer Bill Arndt says the Nurtural Bitless is the best bridle he has ever seen.


‘Better relationship’ means that your horse is happier to be with you, stays calmer and listens better, so you create a closer team. 

 

Leslie Smith Dow does dressage and jumping - bitless of course!‘Better performance’ means simply that whatever you do with your horse, you will do it better. Regardless of the age, ability or aspirations of horse or owner, your horse will be happier to be with you and improve how they work with you.

----------------------------------

Train beginners (horses or people), re-train problem horses, enjoy a trail ride, condition your competitive horse, give your best friend a break or excel in any discipline.

Riding without a bit in a Nurtural Bitless BRIDLETM is the next logical step from  natural horsemanship!

  ----------------------------------

Go Nurtural!  Imagine what
you can do when your horse is
working with you, not just for you!

The Bitless Revolution

A new culture is emerging whose mantra is “Bitless, Treeless and Barefoot”.   They are avid natural horsemen or horsewomen who use bitless bridles, ride in treeless saddles, and use a barefoot natural trim on their horses’ feet.  They believe these things eliminate the discomfort, pain and injury that can be caused by bits, traditional treed saddles and horseshoes.  Eliminating pain brings them closer to their horses so they can enjoy the magical relationship that so many horse lovers dream of.  While they and their horses are enjoying the time they spend together more, they also claim that these innovations help the pair perform better together.  

 

Zoe’s experience in designing her new bitless bridle is echoed by this growing quiet revolution: “Training and riding bitless took us to whole new level! It removed the fight and the mutual worry of impending pain form the bit.  We worked better together and learned to trust.”

And ... What about all those things Dr Cook says?

 ----------------------------------

What makes our Bitless Bridle better?

 

1.  The bridle forms a cradle around the horse’s head so the rein pressure and release intuitively gives consistent signals to turn, slow or stop your horse.

 

2.  The patented Circle-XTM under the horse’s jaw positions and holds the reinstraps consistently in the best place for your horse.   This unique design feature lets you customize the fit for your horse.

 

3.  The rubber gripping on the loosely-fitting noseband keeps it from moving and amplifies your stop/slow signals.

 

4.  The reins attach closer to the horse's mouth than most bitless, so the turning and stopping control is better. You ride or drive with essentially the same action as with a bit ... except that most say they actually ride better because they develop lighter hands and focus on all their aids. 

 

5.  It is more comfortable and more natural.   Both the horse and rider/driver develop a better relationship and better performance.

The Nurtural Bitless BRIDLETM   was created at Guys' Acres, Ontario, Canada in 2005 by horse-lovers Zoe Brooks and her husband Gerry Guy, with lots of help from all their horses - particularly Zoe's Canadian mare Hazel.  The  philosophy of nurturing (to develop and improve with kindness) drives this family business and ensures you the best possible customer service and support.
