Gen and Chloe discuss bridles, the bit debate, nosebands, bridleless options and of course how R+ can better your equipment. While we don't recommend the use of bits, bitless options can be misused as well and the use of bitless doesn't inherently mean the guardian is gentle or has good training. Horses are a giant "it depends" and everything is so nuanced. Share your opinions but keep it civil. 😎 Happy Training!
