She is a genius. This is exactly right. It is an illusion. A horse is always stronger than you. It is about leadership and cooperation.
Leadership that was built on trust and respect, I would add. As a man, looking at your alias, my prejudice says there is a male notion in there. Not a problem in itself, but could be. We, including myself, have to be aware that human women may not be seen as a threat to their lives by these prey animals. This was discovered by researchers when their lab rats became nervous when a male caretaker entered the room and the animals did not get nervous when a female entered. So we may have to go to greater length to build trust. In that starting position, we are handicapped (as in golf) relative to most women, especially when the horse individual has a higher fear level - it may want to run away, do nothing or fight us, depending on its character. Or a bolder individual horse will start a conflict for a dominant position with us. This all, when women are inclined to treat the horse as a big toddler and seemingly have no problems. Our biggest pitfall is to step into the relation with an individual horse from the instinct to be the boss and overlook the horse's individual character. I sense, women start with the character, minding the dominance in a subtle way.
You are changing Horses lives for the better 🐴! And people will see how right you are 💜💁🏻♀️🇺🇸 Bless you Mia 😇
I adopted a horse fresh off the track and she fought (and won) against every trainer who tried to control her. She'd put her head high and gran the bit and run, and when I bought a bitless bridle everyone thought I was crazy, but the ride was much smoother and honest. She taught people who didn't give up on her the value of gentle patience and proper communication. Very cool video. I love your Friesian
I love how that beautiful girl just stands besides you. so patient, so gentle
It always amazes me watching such a powerful animal standing there waiting for you to put on his bridle. Some people don't realise that without the horse we would not be here today! Love how you keep saying "if your horse decides to cooperate with you".... That's what its all about! :) Thank you for sharing!
I like the Dr Cook bitless bridle, its great for beginners because its pressure not pain
This was very enlightening, a very kind and gentle way to communicate.
Interesting- years ago I rode bit less with a ‘hackamore’ but it would squeeze the jaw and nose quite a lot. What you’re using is more like a leash on a dog- more signals and vibration than any sort of force. 👍
Great Video... This time your horse stole the show Mia... Still the info came very well across.
@when horses choose
Your horse was standing sooo well ...
And : Mia stop talking about equipment... I CHOOSE to let go try it ..yeahhhhh
😂💕👏🏻
Yes, the Friesian breed is calm by nature. And perfect contrast to petite, small-but-mighty Mia :))
I would love to purchase that bridle...
These videos are helping me so much I have established leadership with my very dominant pony and it feels great..
I love, admire and respect the incredible knowledge, passion and empathy you/Mia have/has not only for horses, but also people who want to learn. I'm so greatful your/her students get to develop skills I never did as a kids. Hopefully more will be inspired and horses (and ppl) will have far better safer lives. During all of my years with horses I've sadly never met anyone like you/her, and I, especially, don't even have a fraction of your/her abilities. Recently found this channel and instantly became a fan.
But why use bridles at all? My concern would be that the rider might think it's okay to use a lot of force through the bridle since it's not hurting the horse as much as a bit would. But it could still cause damage, it still has metal and so on? :/ Plus then how do you (you=us/students) communicate with them in that moment and how does that impact the horse/human relationship? Wouldn't you still risk creating that dynamic of threats/force/some pain vs. mutual respect, calm patience and clear directions? Even if the person has good intentions, it's a lot easier to take short cuts and maybe go back to possibly old habbits (if they like me, for instance, grew up riding english with bit) with a bridle is what I'm thinking. If the horse might do something during a ride, maybe there is more of the basic work to be done first?
I have to admit...I am not a horse person. I am here for Mia ; )
She is a beauty too
You are amazing and I love your way with horses :)
Wonderfull way you train the best for the horse and safer for you thanks for being my teacher you are a star
Thank you, Mia, for sharing your knowledge! I am learning...please continue.
You have no idea how appreciated you are♥️thank you so much for all you share and for just being your beautiful self always❤️‼️🙋✌🏾⭐️🤩
She’s so pretty!
Thank you for all the videos 😊💜
I really like your Friesian...she is so beautiful and so expressive...you have one of the best occupations ever...love from Scotland
Please google bitless bridle. There are almost as many types as bits now! And with varying degrees of harshness too. Some can be quite brutal. You need to suit your horse and your needs and wants. Ie newly started, transitioning from bitted to bitless etc. First time I've watched you Mia, and I loved it 🥰 I will check out the rest of your videos. I'm bitless in the UK. X
I absolutely love how you explain this and I love the bitless bridle honestly I just use a rope halter on my horse and she's perfectly fine with it she understands why people think they have to have bits I don't know I guess it's just a fad to me it sure hurts them horses
Some wonderful pieces of advice. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really respect you.
You re great Mia
Always a pleasure to (re) watch your videos
Thank you for your for sharing
👏🏻💕😘
Rambo Micklem multibridle
It can be used as a bitless or with a bit....I use it bitless.
It has multi levels of pressure for horses that need more pressure.
Just Google Rambo Micklem Multibridle.
Im not sure if Mia offers one on her site? But if she does I would buy hers... because I believe in her and her when horses choose method.
Blessings Mia! YOU GO GIRL!
I Can't wait to see more of you.
So brilliant! I hate to see animals suffering and always thought that the horses stuff/equipment was a bit cruel. I'm glad this exists
Aww my special 💖 horse always goes bitless, i just clip reins onto a rope halter that i made a super soft thick noseband for. She recently tested positive for EPM so i wont be able to ride her for a while but shes getting tons of loving from the ground. Its soooo heartbreaking to see her struggle through her daily exercises. The sad helpless look in her eyes is clear as day. Im determined to get her through it so we can hit the trails! She actually comes up and just watches me ride another horse like she wants to be in there with me so bad😢
I did not see that bridle on the referenced webpage. Where can you get one?
Growing up we had horse "patches", we (as in: dad until we got bigger) never used bit. Then we got thoroughbred from Portland Meadows Racer track. She became almost pet like patches, then she had a baby! So we got extra horse out of deal! An baby really was a pet followed us around, kids played games of tag around all three. So I was raised with not bit. There was bit on wall bit no one used it just bareback pad & head gear! Then I got another horse that was all mine, that's another story!
Can someone post a link to where we can buy the bridle?
Hi Mia, it looks like you are getting a lot of requests for these Bridals. I am a Leather worker looking for something to keep me going. I have trained to make Standard Bridals and make the odd one or two for friends. Do you have a pattern for your bridal and maybe I could make some for people that can not find them elsewhere. Love your work :-)))) xx
I think you have to be careful ,a lot of these bridle designs are now patented. But as a bitless rider, in the UK , access to a leather worker/ saddler, who could do a bridle to suit my horse would be invaluable. Do put yourself out there on your local media or bitless groups. Im sure you would get loads of interest.
@@maxiemax5096 Many Thanks for taking time to reply Maxie. I think there is a growing market, so I will do some more research. Thank you and stay safe :-))
It was kind of interesting when you loosened the bridle the last time, the look the horse gave the camera was,"see how well l trained my human?".
Of course my hound is impatient with me.
Wow....you’re amazing
Thanks for sharing
I’d love to see the day when bits are no longer used in any riding and competitions.
That would show true horsemanship.
Could you do a video on how to ride in a cordeo
I believe you. As an older woman with zero experience with horses and in a small town how can I learn WHC? Do you offer online classes? If not, would you consider online classes? Thank you.
I love your videos!!❤😊🙋🏽♀️
Thank you for all the videos
Gosh, he’s beautiful. love her!
I never used a bit on my Friesian.
She is great, very knowable..... Also, she is very attractive. Love horse people different kind of Breed
I am so addicted to you. You are the best so far. So gentle and areal human . Thank you. I would like to know. Where do you live please?
Can you please post the link to where you buy this bitless bridle?
You are remarkable Mia. Oh what you could have taught those cowboys many years ago. I believe that your technique must be how the Indians gentled down so many horses.
The horse knows his on video !
Where do you buy the bridle you have in this video?
Do you have a link to where I can get that bridle? Also unsure about how to size the bridle for my pony horse.
Didn't we used to call that a hackimore bridle
I am not a horse person. I am here to watch Mia talk ; )
I love you a lot specially your way to communicate with horses but I'll rather use rope halters than flat leather ones, but you're the best. 💓
What brand of bitless bridle is that?
good choose very good
I just really think you make so much sense when you take about cooperation from a horse. If your horse absolutely refuses to cooperate and submit then no amount of equipment will accomplish that goal. Of course there are cruel people who will beat an animal into submission but then you don’t have cooperation, you have a scared animal who can’t trust you. THATS SICK! You have a wonderful way of showing how things can and should be done to get the results you want.
Does a bit stop a horse from licking & chewing?
Love it mia tillykke
Wish you were my next door neighbour!! : ). Love your way of thinking. Your girl is so beautiful too!!
I notice that that bridle has no chin strap around the jaw. What if you have a horse who is skilled at escaping from their bridle? We have a horse at my friend's equitherapy centre who just shakes off a normal bridle with a bit, even mid-ride!
What kind of horse is that???? It is beautiful!!!
Hi J Wicks,
I'm pretty sure that is a Friesian with Mia. Special breed from Denmark, I think.
@@aileen694 Yes you are correct about it being a Friesian...but it comes from an area after which the horse breed comes from...in the Netherlands.
I like it
I don't like how low it is because then it puts more pressure on the thinner part of the bone other than that good video
That is a lucky horse :)
Megan Paris Rose Abraham: Thank you for your reply. I do not use FB.. But at the moment I do not have any Patterns, I can make any thing but just need some thing to work off. I would love to help if I can :-))
Keep doing good things! Maybe you could not show corrections when the horse isn't doing anything wrong? That bugs me. Otherwise, I've been intrigued by your philosophy here. You should get in touch with Warwick Schiller; he's been exploring relationship-based training lately, and I think you two would have a lot to talk about.

Nope she's correct. It's not a matter of equipment anymore it's a matter of love and respect.. on both sides.
💞 🐎
the nose band is too low on the horse. It is placed on the tip of the bone.
So bit are useless
The lower portion of the head is not 'bone structure'. It is cartilage.
Give her a break. English is a second language for her.
@@js2702 Some people just like to think they are better than everyone else... Mia know`s more about horses than this "person" ever will.. :-))
