Description

Have you ever wondered which bit is the right bit for your horse?

Do you feel confused and lost when it comes to bits and bitless bridles and don't understand how they work or what's the point of it all?

Then this is the course for you!

In this easy introductory course we dive into bits and bitless bridles to help you be able to determine which is the right bit for your horse.


In this course you will learn:

  • The History of Bits and how that affects us

  • How to choose a bit for a young / green horse

  • How to determine the basic function of a bit just by looking at it, even if you don't know the name of that bit!

  • Quick Reference Training diagnosis for "horse problems"

  • Some important tips about bit-less bridles and how they work

  • Which is better: Bitless or with a bit?

What this course is NOT:

  • This course will NOT tell you the names of every bit in the universe. There's google for that.

  • This course will NOT talk about every bit in the universe... because seriously, guys you don't need to know all of them.

What this course IS:

  • A helpful tool to teach you how to examine and assess bits for yourself. We want you to pick up a random bit in a shop and be able to determine what it does and whether or not that is useful for you.

This course is blunt and to the point. We don't hold back when it comes to sharing the truth behind bits. This course will do better for those with an open mind that are ready and willing to learn.
