\"LightRider<\/a>
The new LightRider Chinstrap cover<\/a> is made from soft neoprene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This neoprene cover helps\u00a0keep\u00a0the buckle more secure, and your horse even more comfortable.<\/p>\n

You can use it\u00a0with the smooth or textured\u00a0side facing out, and it’s weight assists\u00a0the chinstrap to release and\u00a0return to neutral (when light reins are also used).<\/p>\n

Neoprene was chosen for it’s softness and is\u00a0easy to clean and dry.<\/p>\n

It can also be used\u00a0to pad another part of the bridle like\u00a0the middle\u00a0of the noseband, or over the noseband buckle.<\/p>\n

Why a webbing chinstrap?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The main reason is soft webbing bends around the noseband rings when pressure is applied to the reins, and this stops the strap from further tightening.<\/p>\n

Most horses don’t appreciate pressure that keeps increasing, so its important to have a point where it stops.
\nWhen a horse doesn’t fight pressure they learn to ‘give’ to to the rein for a\u00a0release of the chinstrap.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0the chinstrap is made of leather or rope, it doesn’t\u00a0bend around the ring enough to lock, so\u00a0keeps tightening down on the horse’s nose.
\nImagine how that would feel?
\nIt could turn a gentle piece of equipment into a severe one.<\/p>\n

You could try it out\u00a0– have someone put pressure on the reins of your LightRider bitless bridle with\u00a0your finger under the noseband and another under the chinstrap. You’ll feel most of the pressure is on the top of the nose, with\u00a0very little under the chin beyond being snug.<\/p>\n

This makes the LightRider Bitless Bridles<\/a> unique in their ability to offer\u00a0a close, gentle connection<\/a> that enhances signals\u00a0for the horse, so you can be lighter with your rein aids.
\nSee how well your horse responds by trying one yourself – you’ve got nothing to lose with a 30 day money back guarantee.
