Information about Bitless Bridles and Treeless Saddles
Side Pull Bitless bridles have been reviewed on the site Horse Point. CLICK HERE to read the review.
(Cross Under Bitless Bridle) Used the bridle on my two today and was very very impressed!!!! They
worked so well!!! And my standie now stops straight away instead of
hauling on my hands!!! it's great! Loving the bridle it has changed both my boys!!! The
brakes on my standie is amazing! he just stops dead! amazing! and we
now get a canter from a slow trot!! couldn't even get a canter before! so happy! Thanks, Jess (Heidleberg, VIC)
(Cross Under Bitless Bridle) Some time ago, I purchased a black leather cross under bitless bridle from you for my miniature. my little guy works fine in his bitless bridle. I have trained him to
drive a cart, all in a bitless bridle. Now I just need to convince the
miniature horse societies into letting me show him in a bitless as I
won't be putting a bit in his mouth. When i took my little guy out to a miniature horse training day, people
were in shock that I was using a bitless! They couldn't believe that
Bailey drove so well and so responsive in his bitless. People just have this idea in their heads that you need a lump of metal
in your horses mouth to have any form of control. The truth is just
the opposite, only if people were to be more open minded. The proof is in my relaxed, happy little horse. Thank you very much, it's much appreciated. Decent customer service is getting harder to find these days! - Leonie (Dales Creek VIC)
(English Style Treeless Saddle) i received my saddle yesterday and had a quick ride in it. it actually
fits my pony and doesn't roll around. its the only saddle that i have
now found that fits him. i have had two different saddle fitters out to
him and they both couldnt fit a saddle to him! one told me to just ride
him bareback (not an option when he is a tad bit naughty!) but the
other suggested a treeless saddle. Im so happy with this saddle so
thanks so much and also for the saddle blanket i really appreciate it.
i will be saving up for a couple of your bitless bridles, so hopefully
will be able to order them soon. thanks Karlee (tyrendarra Vic)(Traditional Treeless Saddle and Pad) The saddle arrived safely, Im
very happy with, it the size was perfect too. The pad is awesome, good quality
and very good value for money its very similar to the Grandeur physio
pads, which I would have been looking at getting, thanks to you Ive saved
quite a bit of money. I had a little ride in it
yesterday and it felt comfy, sits you nice and close to the horse, my horse
felt very free at a trot too. I think I may have to put thicker inserts into
the pad, or perhaps put a riser pad on my arab, because of his slight sway back
(hes 23 yrs old though you wouldnt know it the way he
acts!) I felt like I was riding slightly up hill, but this is an issue I had in
his English saddle too. The quality of the saddle is very good. - Lisa
(English Dressage Treeless Saddle) Thankyou Susan for creating such a gorgeous little
Dressage/Show Treeless Saddle. My pony is 14 1/4hh and no saddle fits him, as he
is round and flat backed. Your treeless Dressage design is brilliant, and
when placed on my pony it looks like one of those $2000 plus pony show saddles.
It fits beautifully over my half numnah. The 1st ride felt a little strange. As
it does make up you sit up, your legs then naturally hang in the correct
position and as you start riding you feel the horses every move. Day 2 - The saddle has moulded to fit the pony as if it was
especially made to fit him! Day 3 -Wow what a lovely ride, it was wonderful, I
have never felt so comfortable since riding in my old County many years ago.
Trevvy, my super pony, was so much more comfortable and free in his movement and
seemed more relaxed. The saddle is a leather 16" and it fits both my 4year old
daughter and myself, its the best money I ever spent and it was the
exact design that I was looking for as I can still use it in my competitions. My
daughter's 1st ride was a bouncy one as she was going with the horse as to
speak, but her 2nd ride, she was sitting up beauifully and when I asked her how
her new saddle was going she said "Its just perfect Mum". I highly recommend
this saddle especially for the hard to fit, no wither, round or flat back
horses. WELL DONE Susan! - Mel VanCleef - Geelong
(English AP Treeless Saddle) The saddle arrived a few days ago- (15inch English Saddle) I am amazed how quickly I
received it- thank you! It fits both my horse and I perfectly! I am so happy! This
is my first treeless saddle and after 2 rides I am already very pleased with
it. My horse seems to move much more freely and now has no trouble with his
transitions into a canter- something that was quite a task for us before! I especially love
how well it fits him- I dont need a breastplate to hold a saddle in place
anymore, Thanks again- we couldnt be happier!!! Best of luck with your rescues!!!- Stef Costello and "Dakota"
(Dressage English Treeless Saddle) Thank you so much for letting me try out the demo saddle on my horse. Here is the feedback that you requested:
* 17' seat size too small for me but still comfortable * sweat marks fairly good however dry patch at rear of panels, and some ruffling of hair besides whithers * bruises to inside of my thighs from buckles of stirrup leathers - but i haven't ridden in a saddle in almost 2 years * horse had good movement - no impingement of shoulders despite saddle moving forward around 2'. I
am interested in purchasing one of these saddles however would like to
observe sweat patterns over a few more rides. Thanks for letting me
hold on to the demo saddle for a few days. I have had no further
problems with bruising from stirup irons, think it
was just i wasnt used to it. I am interested in purchasing a saddle
from you. - Sarah (VIC) I really liked the western
style crossover bitless I got from you on ebay, I have been using it to remouth
my exrace TB, who is very resistance in a bit, we're still in the early
stages as he still likes to try and set his jaw and/or whole neck against the
pressure, but he is slowly coming around, and I have had a lot less head
tossing in the bitless than I used to with a bit. It will take some time, but I
think this bridle will make him a much safer horse to ride than he used to be. I'm
also keen to try a treeless on him too, as he hates all my treed saddles. regards Lisa (QLD)
I have purchased a
full leather bitless bridle of excellent quality, for A$ 70.00 incl.
delivery. My horse Cavallo is about 19 years old , and I was a bit
concerned if he would accept this new bridle . Two days ago I fitted
the new bridle and just walked him around without mounting. He seemed
ok. Today I have taken Cavallo for a 2 hours trail ride, twice crossing
a creek. There was no problem at all and the control of the horse was
excellent and mounting the horse is actually easier as he just stands
still with the new bridle. Sometimes he shakes his head slightly, but I
think that will go away , once he is used to the new friendly bit less
bridle.Regards, Hans (NSW)
"Have only had one opportunity between snow storms to
try my new treeless GP saddle, but found it to fit our Quarter Horse
nicely and had plenty of spine clearance. It was comfortable and I felt
very secure. I used a closed cell foam saddle pad and had no trouble
with slipping. When the saddle first arrived, I carefully inspected it
and found the quality of the leather and stitching to be very good. At
last I've found a treeless saddle with a traditional look. Overall, I
feel the saddle was an excellent value." - Leesa Ripling (California USA)
I
received my rope bosal, and rode this morning using my new 'face
contraption', and I had no trouble at all with it. I think I would like
it better if it was a complete 'rope bridle' with the bosal part
already fitted to it - I do not favour the ordinary leather ones (that
i bought from a local saddlery to use with this) However, Rocco (my
horse) was very light for me, and understood everything I asked of him
with turning, backing and forward. So, in summary, I liked it, the
principle is good. I am fairly new to the horse world, always want the
best option for my horse and his comfort and am quite good at sorting
out what things I like and what I don't (and why) . - Jan
We purchased an English style Treeless
All purpose saddle and when my daughter rode in the saddle it did not
fit her horse. We used a treeless saddle pad under neath but the saddle
tipped up whenever she rose to the trot. The horse is a 15 hh arabian,
I think the main issue is that he is fit (endurance) and so his loins
are not well padded, although he's not thin he doesn't have that very
broad back that fatter horses get, and the saddle doesn't wrap around
his back. I think it would be fine on a broadbacked horse, but the
saddle did not suit the horse we bought it for ,but it seemed to be
well made, durable, attractive and well suited to broad or overweight
horses which are very hard to fit with conventional saddles. Thanks for
refunding my saddle costs, and I would be interested in the new style
(3/2 girthing system) when you get it. -Fia (Canberra)
- We I purchased an english
treeless saddle from you and would like to say how pleased I am with
it. I have a tank of a 12hh pony - shetland cross - big wide flat back
and this is the first saddle I have had on her which does not slip
forward or roll to the side. I use a cavello pad under it and Molly
seems so far to be very comfortable. The only thig is that being
synthetic it squeaks alot. In hindsight I should have bought a leather
one...... I will keep the synthetic but when I can afford it I want to
purchase a leather dressage treeless saddle aswell. Thanks, Karen Miatt
We purchased a bitless
bridle from you 2 weeks ago, from ebay (fillyaus) I have used it now on
three horses with amazing results, I ride a Clydie who is broken to
harness and saddle and she has always lugged and pulled, She was so
soft in the bitless bridle I was quite amazed. My stockhorse Mare took
to it in no time and was spinning and backing as in a normal snaffle
and my Thoroughbred mare who throws her nose out and leans heavily on
the bit, worked in the bitless bridle far better with no leaning or
pulling. I am converted, I rode one of my mares down the isle to be
married last weekend in your bridle she stood very still, when normally
she would play with the bit and nod her head around. There was heaps of
people around and whip cracking and champagne corks flying and not once
did i feel insecure with this bridle. I have been asked by several
people already where they can get one. Thanks so much for introducing
us to this bridle Paul & Karen Cate - Kharna Aurora Park www.kharnaaurorapark.com.au
I just wanted to let you
know that I'm now a convert to Bitless Bridles. My 12yo Standardbred
gelding was a absolute steam train when in a bit bridle, but now that
we are using one of your fabulous bridles he is a changed boy. He
would constantly move his head around and play with his bit, but now he
just stands there quietly with his head relaxed and goes to sleep,
bless him and trotting is wonderful. He no longer pulls and he really
seems to enjoy being ridden. I now have my confidence back and am
eager to ride again thanks to discovering you and your bridles. My
daughter also has one now and her boy is different now too. They are
both more eager to please under saddle which is marvellous Thank you once again, Robyn Thornton and Rhian
Thanks sooooo much for the
amazing gorgeous bitless bridle, I find my arab mares soooo much more
responsive in this bridle and have now started my hubby's
Persheron/Whaler x stallion in the bridle with absolutely amazing
results, he yields better, greater flexion and extension on first go
with him, amazingly responsive, I shall NEVER use a bit again!!!
That is the most amazingly wonderful training tool and it looks
awesome too thanks heaps mate, made my horses very very happy!!!
