Thanks, i know he is a really good trainer!! From what i can gather he learnt off his father to ride with no reins. Quite Frankly i think it should be a Olympic sport!! Not very many people can do what he is doing, fair enough they could ride with no reins in a round yard or sumthing but not perform the highest movements in dressage, and jump 1.20m AMAZING!!

Those two have a special bond!!

this makes me happy when someone that does dressage can do it without putting 2 bits in their horses mouth and without making them flex so much at their poll.

GREAT JOB!!! I commend him on being kind to his horse while still riding in a manner he enjoys!!! :D

appy lover, I have a bitless. It works just fine, but I don't think there is anything wrong with a bit, it all depends on how yo use it. you can be really cruel with a bitless too. I switch back and forth to keep things interesting and not boring for my mare. My biggest problem (and I agree with you here appy) is that dressage seems to be a little cruel for the horses mouth,, NOT to say that every dressage horse is tormented with those bits, but I would say that a lot of them aren't happy with that much metal in their mouth. I'm glad that that guy in the beginning of this post can do dressage with no bridle, because its nice to tell some people that swear by bits (esp in dressage) that it can be done with nothing on their face or in their mouth.
