Bridleless Riding

There are many benefits to bridleless riding

    • Reduce the dependence on your reins - allows you to ride your horse from the front to the back, your horse will be able to move forward and less likely to challenge you
    • Mouth problems - how many times have you tried to find the right bit for you horse? it can be a minefield - too strong and your horse will resist and become tenes. We want your horse to be relaxed and trust you

Start with simple exercises

    • Find a safe space (arena or paddock with fences)
    • Walk in straight and curved lines
    • Master walk before trotting or cantering

Tips for bridleless riding with your neck strap

    • Use a gentle hand for a few seconds at a time (you dont have to hold them constantly
    • Keep the neck strap on the driveline (avoid the strap rising towards the throat)
    • Use your body to move with your horse's movement
    • Keep notice of your horse's body language
