Amalia Dempsey says:
“I am extremely fussy about the gear I use on my horses, and bitless bridles are no different. This re-design of my original bitless bridle makes it even better!”
Check the sizing guide below to ensure you have the right size. (exchanges are welcome but shipping is expensive!).
This bridle does not include reins because it allows you to choose from the LightRider Reins available here or you may already have reins you can use.
I recommend you use scissor rein clips for easy change over to the leading ring which enables groundwork/leading/lunging or buy LightRider Reins that include rein clips to match.
Take advantage of the FREE email photo consultation to check the bridle fit and sizing for your horse within the 30-day return period (from the date of receiving). Simply email your photos of the head side-on from both sides.

Beautifully made bridle. Fits perfectly and my horse is very relaxed and responsive. Highly recommend!

This was a gift to my friend who introduced me to riding bitless 4 years ago. She has 4 working horses using other bitless bridles but describes the Amalia as the simply brilliant bridle she’s been waiting for, direct side pull with no narly pressure aids on the poll or under jaw. The full size adjusts to fit her Appaloosa and standardbred nicely.

Ask my 17 year Australian riding pony. She joined our herd recently and had her first ride bitless today. Luckily for us the cob size Amalia bridle just fits her petite nose on the tightest hole. The quality leather is settling in for a comfortable fit.

I’m so glad I’ve found a worthy replacement for my horses old bitless bridle. The Amalia bitless bridle doesn’t slide over his face when done up loosely and I love that the “jaw” strap will stay in place without me having to adjust it tightly. It looks really good and I love that he has the freedom to lick, chew, and eat without the noseband restricting him. I love the browband, and it overall looks very pretty which is a huge bonus.

I purchased the Amalia bitless bridle and am so happy I did. It is such a lovely bridle. It fits both of my hard to fit horses and I will be buying another one so they can have one each. I love the width of the noseband and is made out of beautiful soft leather. Customer service has been absolutely exemplary and I cannot recommend Natural Horse World highly enough.

I’ve ridden in the Amalia bridle many times now and I really like it. It doesn’t slide over his face when done up loosely and I love that the “jaw” strap will stay in place without me having to adjust it tightly. It looks really good and I love that he has the freedom to lick, chew, and eat without the noseband restricting him.

For many years I have been using the LightRider Stockhorse, which we loved, however, this takes bridle smartness and comfort to the next level.
I’ve been waiting to see how Buck goes in it and I believe he approves. Since receiving it, we have trail-ridden, we have played in the arena, poles, obstacles and garrocha. The comfort padding is beautifully soft, the contour around the head is soft and flexible sitting perfectly in place and, he is soft and responsive.
Thank you Cynthia and Amalia for producing this really lovely addition to the LightRider Bitless Bridles
