Katie is shown here a red yacht braid (softer rope), bitless halter/bridle, complete with black yacht braid cross under straps and browband w/red decorative knots. The black(up)/red ZigZag noseband has a matching tie off knot.

     These bitless halter/bridles have temple rings where the yacht braid straps are attached. You can remove these yacht braid straps, and add side strap, so you can use this with a bit, too.  

     The yacht braid cross under the jaw, and out come out on the opposite side, through the noseband ring. This creates a push/pull effect. When you put direct reins pressure on one side, not only does it pull from that side, but the jaw strap also pushes from the opposite side.

     If your horse is use to giving to lateral pressure, they should catch onto this quickly. Giving to lateral pressure is a big key with these. If you're unsure how to train your horse to do this, we're happy to give you more info.

     We do recommend giving your horse time to learn this new gear, before setting off on a ride.

     Available in a wide variety of sizes and color options. Starting at $
