ABOUT OUR BRIDLES

How do I transition to the Nurtural Bitless Bridle?

Many might suggest it is impossible to get the same control with a bitless bridle, but here's the evidence. We have participated in many horse shows including the Extreme Mustang Makeover and the Calgary Stampede. It amazes us that even at these high profile and highly competitive events our customers understand instantly the benefits to horse AND rider of our Nurtural Bitless Bridle.

In fact every year when we attend the Calgary Stampede, we host the Nurtural Bitless Challenge. Horse and riders of all types are encouraged to bring their horse into the ring and give our bitless bridle a test run.

The audience then scores the performance. Once with a traditional bridle and then again with the bitless.... and remember these horses have NEVER used or experienced a bitless bridle before this day. See the results in these horse videos.

See the amazing difference when this horse goes from bit to bitless!
When Susan started training Katrina in 2008, the horse had trouble moving forward.

Susan first tried the Nurtural Bitless Bridle in one of the first Nurtural Bitless Challenges at the 2008 Calgary Stampede. When she began training Katrina bitless, she found “it took about half the time to get her to go forward into the bridle than with a bit. We will continue to follow Susan and Katrina’s progress. Enjoy!
