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.

The Amalia bridle is one of my very favorites in the Light Rider range and then came along the Amalia Western.
A beautifully made bridle, lovely carved detail in the nose and browbands. Under padding not too much, just right, allowing for comfort, feel and softness.
The bridle is very stable on the head with thoughtful shaping around the poll to give ear clearance. This model brings back the very useful leading ring at the back of the noseband.
A very pretty, well thought out bitless bridle for those who ride western or, those who don’t and just want the best for their horse.
