Features
- Quality english bridle leather
Highly adjustable
Padded noseband and crown piece
Stays in place without needing a tight noseband
Now available in Havana Brown and Black! It comes in two sizes that fits a small horse up to a warmblood (see sizing info below).
The design of this bitless is such that the cheek pieces will stay well away from the horse's eyes without having to over-tighten the noseband and/or jaw strap. Scroll through photos to see the view that shows how loose it can be around the nose.
It is very adjustable, allowing a more custom fit for a wide range of horses.
The noseband is detachable to allow for other noseband options without having to buy a whole new bridle!

A note from Karen:
"I was frustrated by other bitless bridles on the market. I (and my horses) did not like the ones that have straps that cross under the head, or that tighten down on them. With some other designs, the cheek pieces often got too near the horse's eyes, unless the noseband or jaw straps were really tight... That went against my preference to allow horses freedom of movement in their jaws! I loved the way my rope halters fit on them, but I wanted a nose-piece that was more 'connection-friendly' than thin rope with knots for when my horses are at the stage where they are sustaining their working gaits.
"I also wanted a design that could fit a range of horses. There are two noseband options, and with this design, you can switch out the noseband without having to buy a whole new bridle... I am really happy with the result, and it seems my horses are too!"
Sizing:
First: find the mid point between the corner of your horse's lips and his jaw (where your noseband will sit).
Measure the circumference of his nose at this point. Measurement A
Measure from this same point up around behind the ears (where your crown piece will sit) to the same point on the other side. Measurement B
Measure the circumference of his head going from largest part of his jaw where the throat latch may sit, up around behind his ears. Measurement C
If your horse's measurements fall within these ranges order the Horse/Warmblood size.
- Measurement A range: 18 inches - 25 inches (46 cm - 63.5 cm)
- Measurement B range: 38.5 inches - 45 inches (98 cm - 112 cm)
- Measurement C range: 38-46 inches (96.5 cm - 117 cm)
