Bitless Bridle (Sidepull) The Bitless Bridle page all about bitless bridles/sidepulls, the horsemen & women who use them, and

Learn more about the Bitless Bridles/Sidepulls, horse trainers specializing in bitless training, information on how to properly use the bitless bridles/sidepulls, how to videos on how to properly adjust and fit the bridle and sidepull. Bitless Bridles also called Sidepulls are becoming the choice for many horsemen & women looking for alternatives to the bit. Originally the bitless bridle/sidepull

was designed as a training headstall and to give some relief from the bit when needed. Many horse riders are using them now in everyday horse riding, once they, and their horse, have been trained, evaluated and or advised by a professional horse trainer. Many horses do very well bitless with sidepulls and hackamores, after professional evaluation. Please do not ever ride a horse "bitless" without an evaluation or guidance of a professional. We know horses are PREY animals and their "flight" response is natural and the Bitless Bridle does NOT offer the same control as a full Bitted bridle.
