LightRider Bitless Bridles

A bit-less gives you a lot more

LightRider Bitless Bridles are built around a soft webbing chinstrap that keeps the noseband from twisting, so your communication stays light, direct and kind to your horse.

Designed by Cynthia Cooper in 2006, and now worn by horses around the world.

Why LightRider

Light, kind and secure

Clear, direct and lighter communication

Unique chinstrap. The soft webbing chinstrap helps the noseband stay in place when pressure is applied to the reins. This stops the noseband twisting, which gives lighter communication.

Why LightRider

Release from pressure

The chinstrap becomes snug with rein pressure to keep the bridle secure. It won’t keep tightening because the material is flat, and it releases when the reins are loose, for the comfort of your horse.

How the chinstrap works

A comfortable horse, free from bit pain

“I am very, very happy with my new LightRider bridle. I have tried a few different types of bitless bridles and this is by far the best I have come across.” Siobhan, Western Australia.
