Anyone else think it's cute how his horse listens but tries to go back to sleep as if saying "yeah what ever dude, I'm gonna take a nap while you yap to the thing" it makes me giggle and smile

I am so glad that you explained where to place the nose band. I see so many people that have there nose band to low. Some do it on purpose and other people don't know any better.

I love how the horse is sooo calm and stands still. So patient. Thats a great trained horsie.

Use a rope halter to train on the ground and then ride with it. No metal parts on a rope halter. Rope to rope. Strong. Very versatile. That is all you need.

Good video, especially explaining about the nose band. A lot of pro-bit people say the rope halter is painful and you risk breaking the delicate nasal bone but I was explaining exactly what you said to my daughter just yesterday about placing the nose band. I wish I'd known all this years ago when I had my horse. I doubt I'll ever be able to have another as I don't have the money and I'm now disabled but if I ever could I would go bit-less all the way. Personally I'd get a rope halter that has no metal at all but nonetheless this is a great video and your horse is gorgeous :)

loose the metal all together, rawhide and horsehair and never looked back.

I love the color of the rope halter and reins you're using.

What a good horse

THANK YOU! 🦄

Awesome!

Pressure & release buddy !!

That horse is so relaxed that they are nearly falling asleep

Well done.

Amen to the placing of the nose band! I though I was the only one who thought this way! My mare is in an Indian hackamore buy I am wanting to transition her to a chin slip.

The horse really knows he's playing the model part 😂❤️

Its a different horse going bit less, wonderful

Yikes, that halter looks really tight! And lose the metal! And don't forget to take the halter off when the horse is in the pasture. That can be really dangerous, especially if the halter has as much metal as this one does.

Well explained.

Polster the noseband. Make it soft for his nose.

The horses should sue us for waiting more than a thousand years to figure this out .

It looks like the reins can be clipped to the other rings if one didn’t want to used leverage.

So, since I were little I learned to ride bittless. For me, the only right way is to right bittless. Why habe metal in the mouth of the horse?!

It is very easy divert right or left but the problem is about stopping for example you run very fast and you need to stop immediatly how you can do that?

Is there a bridle like this but without the metal? I really want one

Where did you buy the bitless bridle?

💞💞💞I love bitless💞💞💞

I use a homemade bridle for my 2.5 year old lol I’m supposed to transition to a bit in a year or so. Butttt I’m debating to keep her bitless

He kind of looks like a Thoroughbred

What kind of bitless bridle is this? Never ever heard of it. It does seem pretty severe though, with both the knots and the pressure mechanism under the nose.

How to get your horses head like down (collected?) in English riding? I’m not sure what it’s called

Can I use my nylon halter? To star off with. I wanna try this tomorrow but don't have a rope halter

I do riding as a hobby, and changed stable to there where i can ride bitless and without saddle (is it called bareback?) and close there is beach where we go on little trips. Also there r much nicer people working too

What if your horse does throw his head around? Advice for that?

I have a horse and would like to change using a bit to hackomore how can I get my horse used to using a little s hackamore, when I put it on she doesn't really like the noseband part and tosses her head.

0:10 did he say bit less halter.....

What and where do you get the halter?What's it called???

No metal of any kind around the horse's head. Just use a rope halter with lead line converted to reins for riding. Start in an enclosed area like a round pen. Then progressively larger areas. Ride with one rein at first until you are confident.

I have 5 horses, and they will do well with a bit or hackamore, bosal, no problems at all..... Two of them are year and 6 months Philly's.... The other three are older mares...

Why not just use a rope halter in the first place? Any horse should know the basics of halter pressure. I don't mean to be rude.

How about the knots on the nosal part of the halter, don't they hurt a bit and chafe the nose of a horse when reining, especially during initial stages of training? Is it better to make a halter without thise knots or to cover them with a shearling lambskin cover like ones they use on ordinary bridles sometimes? No criticism meant, just asking to learn more about reining with halters. I have made rope halters and tried them but then switched back to bit bridles.

He wasn't resistant he just wasn't getting good enough direction. People just love blaming the horse.

He has neck pain on the right hand side, why dont you get that fixed before forcing him

get a metal free halter

I appreciate the video but did not understand why you didn't walk around the horse to the other side to soften his neck. It was clearly confused by you reaching over then didn't seem to know what you wanted. so started backing up, just sayin'

The horse is bored.

That halter is too tight it can break your horses nose

I am honestly so sick of people feeding other people shit. Bits aren't all that bad and neither are bitless bridles. It depends on what kind of pressure the horse is comfortable with. If he doesn't like the facial pressure from bitless bridles then use a neck rope or a bit bridle as long as you aren't using a harsh bit and being abusive with it. If he doesn't like mouth pressure from the bit, use a bitless bridle or neck rope. Not rocket science. Peop,e always look at one video of someone horse being uncomfortable with the mouth type pressure, and scream that all bits are abusive. I know some complete idiot is going g to say to me "well how would you like it if you had a piece of metal in your mouth?" First of all, our skull, dental, and facial nerve structure is completely different than a horses structures. Second of all, it would get the same results if we did have a bit for humans. It moves around a small bit with regular cues regardless if you ride one handed or two. It slide around harmlessly with cues because it's slippery from the saliva and doesn't hurt the damn horse or human. IT ONLY HURTS IF YANKED ON OR PULLED HARSHLY. IMAGINE THAT. Find out what kind of pressure your horse is comfortable with. An example of bitless damage that is common in our vets office is nerve damage. Facial nerves are easily damaged no matter how gentle you are with the bitless bridle. Once a mare didn't like the facial pressure and when her owner tried to turn her in a circle to stop her, the bosal pressed so hard into her face that it tore the skin and did some serious damage. Her entire left side of her face swelled up and then it literally drooped like she had a stroke. It was paralyzed and she couldn't use it. She couldn't eat or drink and eventually had to be put down. I'm not hating on either of the two, I'm just trying to stop this debate. It's stupid and going nowhere. There's facts and evidence right in your faces and you are all to stupid to see this. Find out what your horse is comfy in and use it. Quit arguing I highly suggest you all watch Shelby Dennis and her video on the bit debate. She gives facts and evidence. I rest my case
