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 :)

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

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

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..

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

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

Do your parents not let you because they think it's dangerous?

Maybe meet in the middle with a bitless bridle? I can see from a "safety of other people" aspect why they wouldnt want a horse at a show with no bridle at all, but its always seemed odd to me that bits are often a firm requirement

Cali, i own a KWPN stallion, who is 7, we do bridle less and bare back all the time, and compete bridle less, and jump 140cm bridle less.. we do it for 3 years now, and at first we got hate as well, but now people are excited and happy to see me and him compete bridle less. Just try to compete bridle less, if you like it (and don't hurt yourself) you can continue! That's my advice..

Its not against the rules technically but my parents won't let me at all, and they're not even equestrians

If it's not against the rules, do it anyway and show off. Bridleless is cool

And then I argue with some people about it and this is what I get "Its not all about you, horses should have a bit in no matter what your doing"

Like no! I'm not sticking metal in my horses mouth to make strangers happy

So I'm very into liberty work with my horse, as well as bridle less.
We're looking into a show for December, it isn't graded and is just a training show. I really want to go bridleless but am getting a fair amount of hate. It just really upset me

Stud ideas? September 17, 2020 08:03 PM

***Before anyone comes at me, I am going to post pictures of the mares I am thinking about breeding later. I need some confo shots and better pictures than the head.
So, I am an eventer and have 3 mares. I would like to breed 1-2 of them to get an eventing foal. I am looking for sire suggestions. I would prefer WB types but will look at all! Here is a little about them.
Hope- Swedish WarmbloodXLippizaner. 17.1 hh.
-Stunning dressage mare who is very willing to work and loves her job. She has a very flat back so I would like a stud with better jumping conformation. She has an overall good personality and I would not mind a tiny her. She does need a man who is better on the jumping aspect as well cause she is not a huge fan of bigger things. Something with a little more speed and stamina would be great.
Fancy- AQHA. 14.2 hh big bodied
https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/fancy+little+flirt
-Big bodied mare that realy holds your leg. She is extremely nervous so would need a boy that has a calmer deamenor. She needs to have a stud who is taller and better in the dressage aspect. She is very correct in her conformation so any boy could do her good in that aspect.
Pepper-APHA-16.2
https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/peppers+lucky+chance
This girly is my baby. She is very in your pocket and would walk through hell for me. She has a shorter neck and a long back with an extreme powerhouse in her hind end. She needs a longer strided boy as well as an all arounder eventing sire. She has a nice dressage gait for the body she has. Total APHA so she kindof moves like a slug at times. She is not a huge fan of jumping.

If you're looking for an eventer, I would try more thoroughbred sires than warmblood. That hot blood comes in handy on the cross country course. ;)
That being said, most TBs are JC registered and require live cover, so it'll be a bit difficult to find an affordable one that also will breed to non TB mares.

Theres so much more info that's needed.
What registeries are you going with etc. LC or cooled or frozen?
I'd say have a search on facebook for eventer breeding groups and go from there.
It's also pretty necessary to see the conformation and pedigree to help match accordingly

For what I am looking for, I would prefer cooled or frozen. LCs for what I want are usually to far away. I will look up some groups on that! I will post pictures later and put pedigrees in original post! Thank you.

It looks like Pepper is only 3 years old this year, I would wait until she's older and has a proven show record before breeding her.
As to your other mares, its hard to say without seeing them but I imagine they would benefit from a TB or lighter WB stud. I second the idea of checking out some eventing Facebook groups, forums, etc to look for stallions that might suit your mares.

My barrel horse had her first foal at 4, then started riding after he was weaned. The foal's purpose was to be a ranch horse, and that's what he is. A good show record doesn't always mean the horse is quality. I look at it more as how much money someone was willing to pay for training. I definitely support the idea of looking on Facebook for studs. There's a ton of good ones out there. I've seen plenty of tbs that would breed to mares of other breeds too, so a TB shouldn't be that hard to find. I look mostly in the South Central US, and most of the good TB boys I see are in Texas. Avoid Oklahoma bred TBs. Most of the ones I've met suck. I'm from Oklahoma, and our race horses are not great. I see a lot of eventing type horses in states to the west of me and way in the northeast. It's ranch/rodeo central where I'm at, so Facebook is my go to if I want to look at horses that could leap right over me. My stud horse may have a long stride, but he is the laziest sucker I have ever met and not a single one of his foals has any motivation. Great for me since I like slow and quiet with a bit of cow sense. Not good for jumping at all lol.
