Training Tips

QUESTION: Dear Sylvia, first I wanted to tell you what a wonderful web site you have! My daughter and I check it out frequently, also the questions and answers section, which have been very helpful in our horse endeavours. I have a question for you regarding bitless bridles. I have found that riding my horse with the knotted training halter and lead tied into reins is going well, although I would like more control. I would much rather stay away from the bit, and was looking into a bitless bridle. Are there any that you recommend? I would very much appreciate your response. Thank you.

REPLY: Yes, there is a great bitless bridle out there where the natural horsemanship halter has been turned into a bitless bridle. You can check it out on these web sites:
