All LightRider Bitless Bridles work the same way with ‘sidecue’ action and a unique releasing chinstrap.
While any bridle could be used for any activity on a well-educated horse, some styles are more suited and look more appropriate for different pursuits.
This chart will help you choose the best options for your preferred style of riding, equine sport or your horse’s level of education.
If you are still not sure which is the most appropriate bridle for your horse, you are welcome to contact Cynthia for advice.
