| Min, xD Absolutely lol! Duchess already has some ...issues... under saddle (we're working on it 😅) but without a bridle, I'd be in the grass too xD |

| Alpine When you get back I demand you come see prince, he doesn't look like an overgrown, underweight rat anymore |
| Dash and Duchess |
| Myth, lol! I'd honestly take you up on that xD Duchess and Marley are...handfuls 😅 |
| Calela Eventing |
| AL and SPI I didn't mean it as completely bombproof, I was more going for he's very reliable. My parents at first wouldn't let me ride bridleless period so they are warming up to it as they get it know my horse more. I've found in my experience with horses that less is more. He and I are more comfortable without a bit. Jeez, kinda rambling on here. I'll stop now lol, leaving soon anyways |
| Minerva |
| Haha DD thats such a mood. My mare would find the nearest patch of grass and that would be us done 🤣🤣 |
| Alpine Acres |
| I haven't ridden for almost 6 months now due to travelling...so I'm pretty nervous to start at a new riding school after being so comfortable at my old one |

| May will be mostly bit less here but if she ever goes to a show she WILL have a bit. |
| Dash and Duchess |
| I honestly really wish I could ride bridleless lol! It's super cool and seems super fun, unfortunately the only horse who wouldn't leave me in another county in about 3 minutes is a chunky lil pony I ride on occasion XD |
| Alpine Acres |
| Cali I agree with Min, meet in the middle by going bitless. That way everyone else will be happy and you will have some form of control if something was to happen. But I totally understand where you're coming from |
| Mythological |
| Cali Doesn't matter, shit happens. Horses can be unpredictable. It only takes once for either of you to be seriously hurt. 😕 |
| Alpine Acres |
| I'm also really into bridleless. After switching from one riding school to the next and learning a few things along the way, I'm a strong believer in bridleless and bitless riding and refuse to ride in harsh bits (such as pelhams) anymore. I've ridden with lots of different trainers and they all have very different opinions, but in the end I think it's up to you to form your own opinion :) |
| Minerva |
| Totally appreciate that Cali, but no animal is 100% anything. Its like my sheep-trained terrier with fantastic recall still goes on a lead to go past livestock- its not fair or worth it to put him in a position for something to happen. Personally I'd just chuck a side pull on so theres something for other people to look at (and to help hold him if something were to happen) and ride the same way you would without a bridle |
| ArcticLights |
| There is no such thing as a 100% bombproof horse. If you are under 18 your parents are responsible if something happens and I understand why they say no |
| Sport Pony Island |
| Cali I understand that your horse is bombproof and safe to ride tackless or bridle less, but, i promise you (bad promise though) you will have a few fails, when riding bridle less, it's not easy, even if you have been working on it for a long time.. |
| Calela Eventing |
| Min That is where I'm being pushed. I do understand everyone's concerns but he is bombproof and 100% safe when bridleless. I've got until December to convince the show hosts so I've been working so hard to keep working on bridleless. I even take him out into the fields tackless and he's always perfect |
| Dash and Duchess |
| Cali, brideless is indeed super cool! You should try to talk to your parents about it, because if your horse/lease/horse you are riding is apt to ride bridleless, it should be just fine <3 |
