LightRider Bitless Noseband

The LightRider Bitless Noseband is made from high quality drum dyed leather with a padded noseband. Simply convert your regular bridle to bitless by attaching the noseband to your existing cheek pieces.

The LightRider's soft webbing chin strap keeps the noseband from twisting to give clear and direct communication. This means you can use lighter rein aids. When rein pressure is applied the chinstrap becomes snug but does not over-tighten due to the type of webbing used. 90% of the pressure is on top of the nose, and the horse can self release the chinstrap easily for eating, yawning etc. The noseband can also be used as a sidepull by clipping the chinstrap and noseband rings together (recommended to start with if your horse hasn't experienced a chinstrap before).

How is the LightRider Bitless Noseband and Bridles different to other bitless bridles?

• Clearer, lighter communication with better responses because your horse can listen without pain. It has a unique sliding chinstrap that stops at snug. So therefore is comfortable which creates a happier horse for a better riding relationship.
  
• Closer in design to a side-pull bitless than the cross-under style bitless bridles. Its unique sliding chinstrap provides the control and most importantly the release from pressure when you loosen the rein. 
• More comfortable than many bitless bridles as is has no tight straps, allowing the horse freedom to eat, drink and yawn without you having to undo anything. It converts quickly and easily to a halter for leading, lunging and ground play.
  
• When you tighten the reins, the majority (approx. 95%) of the pressure is on the horse's nose. The chinstrap tightens to a point that keeps the noseband firmly in place. The particular webbing and the design used in the chinstrap stops it from over-tightening. You can feel for yourself by putting a finger under the noseband and another under the chinstrap then have someone pull on the reins at wither height.
