It is so inspiring to see a professional rider competing bitless and barefoot and proving that you can ride a horse bitless at any level, not just for basic hacking or children riding in halters. Bitless is the future of horse health in the equestrian industry!
RIGHT ON! SIDEPULL IS A GOOD START FOR THOSE WANTING TO GET RID OF THE BIT. BAREFOOT IS BEST, AND THE HOOF WILL HEAL IT'S SELF IF GIVEN A CHANCE. WE HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN TO A HORSE OF OUR OWN, MUSTANG TRIMS GOOD DIET AND HOOF BOOTS FOR OUTING. LOVE YOUR PASSION TO HELP THE HORSE AND AMAZED AT YOUR SKILL👏👏👏 Susan
Back when I used to ride, I presented this stance and finding about facial nerve damage from bits - and I was mocked and alienated from all my equestrian friends. They completely cut me off. Keep up the good fight.
People all over the world have to know about this to help the Horses and save Them from pain Thank you for this video update about Horses who live on a nature way without a bit or shoes of something else that hurts them
Thank you for helping forge the way. I have worked for several world class competitors in endurance racing who got the laws changed in their areas to be allowed to compete shoeless. Yet still there are many barns I visit where I keep my views to myself because of the harsh beratement and exclusion you receive from traditional riders. I should speak up more. Things need to change!
Oohh... I like that. Especially in the footage of the competitive jumping, it’s easy to see that the horse isn’t afrad of getting pulled in the mouth at all.... the neck moves more freely and you can see that the balance and pattern of movement is way better than horses ridden with a bit... Woah. Great! I haven’t been riding for 10 years but I’m thinking of starting again... only I don’t like the thought of constraining animals and making them uncomfortable ... so this is hopeful.
Happy that you liked the idea enough to give it a go 🤗 ...You are right the horses are not at all afraid and it’s beautiful to see the harmony between horse and rider.
It's just to bad that still many European Countires forbid Bitless riding in Competitions, you get flat out disqualified when riding bitless... This belief of having to control your horse is disgusting🤢
The MOST ENLIGHTENING Information needed to change Equine Training and thought. Its like getting hit over the head with 4 Iron Shoes. Who wouldnt do this , seeing the evidence and proof?
Bits aren't brakes, although they can serve as emergency brakes. I can understand making the mistake when you begin learning, but that is when teachers are most needed. After that it is practice, practice, practice so that no matter what (horse is excited, nervous, scared) you can control and guide them without needing to (or instinctively reverting to) putting alot of pressure on the bit.
I started bitless half a year ago due to dental issues and now we have been barefoot for the first couple of weeks. She seems to be quite cautious oh dirt road- I hope it does not leave permanent fear or damage the hoof. She's recovering from ulcer. Heart of a compete horse - however years of neglect. Good quality of hoofs- being a Finnhorse (cold blooded). I am planning to compete in the future too.
@@Utopia0Miles Thanks! I was finally able to buy the super expensive ulcer medication for her and I'm hoping she will go back to the way she was- and I can start competing too. But it is OK for her to have a bit of sick leave now anyways for the hoofs to harden and so on.
Brilliant vidio just bought a rising 5 year old pony. I am keeping her barefoot. Her previous owner rode bitless. But not barefoot. Steering with seat legs and body. I am doing my best to continue this way of riding. Horrible pulling on horses mouths with a bit.
Thankyou Sandra. Your encouragement means a lot. There is this awesome organisation called the World Bitless Association. If you are not already a member worth looking up .
I ride my 22-year-old Arabian who I’ve had since he was one year old. He has no shoes no bit, we cross hard road with traffic we ride In the mountains of Adams County Pennsylvania. It is very rocky here and he never comes up lame! His hooves and my other two horses are extremely strong and have an actual natural hoof shoe that God intended them to have. My quarter horse popcorn and Lakota Mustang cross have never been nailed and never will. They also ride with no bit and no shoes. You have to be willing to give your horses hooves time to go without shoes it might take a year or two but you will see a major difference in their health. The horses hooves are no different than your own fingernails and toenails you keep them covered up too long with fake nails or fingernail polish you’re going to have health issues. ❤ I have many many years and miles and experience with no bit, no shoes and no issues. Wonderful lady who trims my horses hooves knows how to correctly give them a Barefoot Trim and file… Barely ever takes anything off of the hooves, hasn’t had any need to. She also has friends who ride barefoot in the Allegheny Mountains near Windber Pennsylvania… And everyone in the riding club can’t believe they ride without shoes and guess what they are the only ones without issues while everybody else has some kind of issue with a cracked hoof or losing a shoe. I’m not trying to be smart but it’s true experience out on the trails! Stating the facts through experience. You can try to argue but unless you’ve experienced it for years and years please do not.
She proves that conventional thinking is not appropriate for bits and shoes. Horses have been around for over a million years, and people have ridden them for at least 5000 years, Doubt that the Plains Indians of the U.S. bothered with shoes or bits, and they drove the U.S. Cavalry in circles.
Comparto tu punto de vista,la mejor manera para disfrutar el caballo es apelo y sin freno solo con un bozal Ahhh La libertad ,correr sin límites sentirveda poderosa energía entre las piernas ! Es lo máximo te hace sentir el VUELO ,solo eso lo puedes hacer con Tu caballo el cual es manso y a prueba de balas ,si no es Un Peligro El caballo puede asustarse y tienes que eyectarte para salvar el CUERO TE LO DIGO CON Conocimiento ya me pasó y tuve que eyectarme y di como 4 vueltas el en el aire Jajajaja
Not to be a negative not every horse can go barefoot due to bad hoofs and that horse is still lame due to his issues. Also side pulls bitless bridle are worse than a bit.
The sidepull bridle is actually really soft, much better than a bit. However, a crossunder bitless bridle is not the best, sins the mechanical side of it isnt as developed yet, so it doesnt realese pressure as quickly, and the hackamore is also not very good sins its basically as strong as a bit. But the sidepull is soft and one of the best ones, most horses like it due to its softness and good pressure points, it gives quick releases and you can give really subtle signs for your horse. Its made for the horses comfort. So i disagree with your last scentence, i would recommend that you read a bit about the bridle and how it works.
Bitless and Barefoot is what I've done for the past 20 years with all my horses and absolutely agree - bitless and barefoot is the way to go!
That's amazing! Seeing the content on your channel currently and absolutely loving it !
that's a great idea I would love to have a horse again someday and try barefoot and bitless riding nice video that's awesome

Ugh the channel I love. A channel I just found and watched 2 seconds of but it’s already my favorite.
Why does this match everything I believe.☺
Stella it’s such a powerful belief . I hope people like you lead the change ❤️
If only there were more people that thought like you.
Love what you do 💚.
Kathy True that . At least this is a start . Who knows in the future bitless and barefoot could be the norm
I agree! We need more riders like you
Back when I used to ride, I presented this stance and finding about facial nerve damage from bits - and I was mocked and alienated from all my equestrian friends. They completely cut me off. Keep up the good fight.
we are absolutely for the barefoot horse, all our horses are barefoot.
That’s fantastic Tenerife 💫

Thank you Halima. Your support means a lot 🙏🏼
I love this :) I jump bitless and barefoot and always have and always will.

This makes me so so happy ♥️♥️♥️
🤗🤗🤗❤️glad to know that ❤️
Thank you for your story. Awesome. Hopefully many more horse owners will stop having their horses shod & stop using bits.
Bits aren't brakes, although they can serve as emergency brakes. I can understand making the mistake when you begin learning, but that is when teachers are most needed. After that it is practice, practice, practice so that no matter what (horse is excited, nervous, scared) you can control and guide them without needing to (or instinctively reverting to) putting alot of pressure on the bit.
Well done! Me too!
Very impressed with the idea... was not aware that you ride a horse bitless and barefoot.
shilpi som perhaps a lot of us were not aware that Bitless and Barefoot horse riding is an option
Good info
Wonderful information. I agree with your belief..actually makes good sense
Thankyou Pam 🙏🏼
Holly Coetzee is a hero.
I started bitless half a year ago due to dental issues and now we have been barefoot for the first couple of weeks.

All the best Puna. Keep us posted about your bitless journey ♥️
@@Utopia0Miles Thanks! I was finally able to buy the super expensive ulcer medication for her and I'm hoping she will go back to the way she was- and I can start competing too. But it is OK for her to have a bit of sick leave now anyways for the hoofs to harden and so on.
God bless you abundantly. This is humane and kind, I hope you see its reward in both loves.
I love, love, LOVE this so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

it is awesome yes, and natural for the horse. my horse hates bits
The best horsefeet in the world are wild mustangs. when they come in from roundup their feet and hoof are incredibly healthy that is a fact.
She proves that conventional thinking is not appropriate for bits and shoes. Horses have been around for over a million years, and people have ridden them for at least 5000 years, Doubt that the Plains Indians of the U.S. bothered with shoes or bits, and they drove the U.S. Cavalry in circles.
She is amazing!!!!
She is indeed fantastic ❤️
Nice 👍
I am going to try and race my Thoroughbred barefoot... if the horse and the powers that be will allow it.
Hi Jared . We would love to hear about your experience.
Love your views. 💖
White Sapphire Thankyou 😘 We love her too !
nice
Show Jumping is not natural.
That's right.
