Nurtural Bitless Transformation ...Head-bobbing Appy

[ashleyfield71]

although this may work for some, i didnt work for my horse at all. i bought this bridle at the horse expo and the people told me it would fix all my prolems. my horse goes amazing in just a halter or a rope around hsi neck, but when i used a bit he was tense and would run through the jumps. so i tried this bitless bridle. he was HORRIBLE in it. he gave me blisters and completely ignored me. i had to stop useing it because i couldnt control him in it. i went back to my snaffle bit.

Hmmm. I wonder if you had a NURTURAL bitless? We did not attend any 'horse expos'!

If it was ours, did you call us for help? We have great customer service!

Not all bitless are the same. Design and fitting are critical.

Please contact us if we can help. Zoe

@NurturalHorse it was the natural bitless.it was fitted properly and everything i sent a picture in. there really is no diffrence in any of the videos u have on here. i wasted 180 dollars on it when my horse goes bettter in just a halter

Of course he's gonna have brakes in that thing, they keep stopping him the same place every time. He's anticipating stopping there.

[TuffUp]

Its hard for me to see any difference. Yeah no joke he isn't chomping on a bit there aint one, no problem was fixed. Just another tool, what I would have liked to have seen was a vet check to tell me there was nothing wrong with his mouth to cause the discomfort.

Nothing about this demonstration impressed me. For one thing, they let the horse look around and settle in, in its bit, then put the bitless on and then said "look he is more relaxed now!" for another "They respect the feel of the nose band and don't fight it" basically the noseband causes enough discomfort that the horse won't take contact. NOT a good thing.

[NurturalHorse]

Lack of respect causes a lot of problems. But when you see how much better so many horses do in the Nurtural Bitless after only a few minutes, the equipment must also play a key role. Zoe

my sister only rides every horse she's been one in a rope halter, but wont get on unless she's finished the ground training. If anyone is having trouble with their horse, it's probably just lack of respect.

[biffybilliamson]

i think this i a great great great idea. I think it's funny how people can't grasp that horses can't be good without a bit. The Indians rode their appaloosa horses in bosals long long before there was ever a piece of metal in their mouth. And a hot horse would be the ideal horse to use a bit less on because they will tend to fight you more. I've been on a hot horse beside a herd of galloping babies in a paddock along the road and still worked to correct the horse.

[NurturalHorse]

Thanks for commenting. I too am baffled by the opposition, when horses do so well bitless. There seems to be a lot of fear yet and mistaken assumptions that you can 'control' a horse with a bit. I had a similar experience with my horse outside a paddock with the rest of our herd yahooing inside -that's when I knew these bridles REALLY worked.

[obscuredmelody]

It's not grasping the concept that horses cannot be good without a bit, it's the people who want to force overpriced products on those who prefer traditional methods. Honestly, why would I want to buy an expensive specialized "bitless" bridle when cowboys have been using side pulls, bosals, and hackamores for hundreds of years?

A bitless bridle will not fix riders with heavy hands. An exp. rider uses their seat to control speed, not their hands as that pulls the horse onto its forehand.

[gryphonkeen]

I think the bitless is a great CONCEPT.

but after a while, on hot horses, they figure out there is not bit. I've had several horses get downright dangerous once the realized they COULD overpower their rider in it. Not to mention the cross action pinches their jaws and doesnt properly slacken at the release of the reins.

I think its great for a trail horse, or a calm packer, but for a hot headed competition horse, its simple not safe.

I can see the difference between the LG and a bridle with a bit. I use a bosal with rope reins and have trained my appy and my mothers thoroughbred on a bosal. they are happy and so are we id like to get a LG bridle but id need one that looked more western

[NurturalHorse]

Sorry for the delayed response.

If you are looking for western style bitless bridle, you may want to check out the Nurtural Bitless used in this video.

[biffybilliamson]

woah whats this comments from people who understand the LG bridle? So many people disagree with going bitless and all they can think about is a judge saying your horse has to accept the bit. If you are a good enough rider can get your horse to do anything you want in bitless than you can succeed.

[gryphonkeen]

yea but how many out there are "good enough riders"? I see alot of so-called good riders doing really stupid stuff with their horses, and not even aware of it.

I havent met too many "good riders" who can make their horses do anything even with a bit

[horsegaldressage]

Would this work well with a 9 yr old OTTB?

[NurturalHorse]

Thanks so much!! Our dream is that 10 years from now, most peope will agree with you! And those people and their horses will be so much happier!

[silkrodd]

i completly agree with your bitless idea, if i was a horse i would hate to have the taste of metal being put into my mouth everyday.
