Thank you @Hightale!
I showed this to my second riding teacher/enabler/Home Horse riding “coach”, and she fell in love with it. I have given her at least two types of bitless (and maybe a bitless noseband) over the years and she is going home to see if she can combine two of them, one of the the Light Rider bitless bridle that she would use as the “curb”, to make an equivalent.
I am planning on buying at least one, maybe two. Since I no longer own horses and I don’t always know what size head my next lesson horse will have I will probably need a Cob (or a large Arab) and a Horse size, in biothane so I can just wipe it down with soap and water when I need to use it at both the stables I ride at.
The horses will not let me keep good contact when I wear the BOT and other far-infrared radiation gear when the weather gets COLD. They will keep “fake” contact but their tongues refuse to work with the bits and they are always a little bit behind in their contact. THIS one is the bitless bridle that will help me stay content when my hands just get too bad for the horses comfort (as a note my riding teacher always was telling me my contact was fine but the horses did not agree with her.)
This will also help me when the summers get too hot for my nervous system to work even when I wear an ice vest.
I get so bored when I use my bitless bridles because I really miss the conversation between my fingers and the horse’s tongue. This won’t fully replace that conversation but I hope that the horses I ride and I can use this double bitless bridle to come up with some good conversations of another type when I ride them.
