Bitless Bridles for Sale
Bitless bridles are similar to hackamores, but some designs use different leverage principles for control. Hackamores and bitless bridles use a headpiece with reins attached to some type of noseband or nosepiece. Various designs allow control and good communication to the horse and may, in come cases, be more comfortable to the horse, particularly a young animal or one with a mouth injury.
Bitless bridles and other types of hackamore are most often seen on horses used for endurance riding and trail riding. A design called the mechanical hackamore is sometimes seen at rodeos. Most horse show events do not allow bitless bridles of any kind. The exceptions are show jumping, where equipment rules are fairly generous, and in certain western horse show classes for "junior" horses, which permit use of bosal hackamore.
