S1E8 - Bitless Vs Bitted
03/18/24 • 91 min
In this week’s podcast on "Dangerous at Both Ends, Tricky in the Middle," we're bridging the gap between tradition and innovation in the equestrian world. Ever caught yourself wondering about the pros and cons of bitted versus bitless bridles? Well, you're not alone, and we're here to delve into this hot topic.
We'll start by exploring the basics - what does going bitless or sticking with a bitted bridle mean for you and your horse? It's not just about comfort; it's a whole philosophy on how we communicate and connect with these animals.
Then, we're getting into the nitty-gritty. Why do some riders swear by bitless, and others wouldn't dream of ditching the bit? We'll share stories from both sides of the fence, highlighting how this choice can affect everything from training to hacking.
So, saddle up for an episode that promises to be as engaging as it is informative. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just horse-curious, join us for a conversation that's bound to stir the pot.
