(including those that are often overlooked), and the treatment
options available.
Steph Bradley will share key findings from her MSc research, which

Understand Bitless Horseriding and Training 1st July 7pm

chevron-up
Bookings & information
Bitless bridles offer an alternative way to communicate with horses. They can be used with precision and softness when paired with thoughtful training. In this webinar, Trudi will explore some bitless bridle designs and look at how they can be used to deliver clear cues.
It’s not simply a matter of removing one piece of equipment and replacing it with another. Successful bitless riding depends on carefully introducing new cues and ensuring the horse fully understands what’s being asked. Whether you’re starting rein cues from scratch or adapting existing ones, bitless options can support lightness, clarity, and connection in your training.
We will look at:
Some different bitless bridles and how they were designed to work
How bitless bridles can be used to deliver clear cues
Matching bitless options to your horse’s needs and your goals
Teaching and transferring rein cues for precise communication
Common mistakes and practical tips when transitioning horses to bitless
This webinar is aimed at horse owners, trainers, students, and equine professionals.
After the presentation, Trudi will answer questions.
Time: 19:00pm - 20:30pm
