Hi

I'm Fin anf I'm the only person I know who rides bitless so it's good to find others who think the same.
I have a piebald vanner ane I like to do novice dressage and he humours me. haven't had the nerve to compete bitless yet, tho had a treeless saddle for ages. I made my first bitlees bridle based on a dropped noseband. Noticed others make their own stuff. Suggest a topic where we swap ideas.

Hi Fin.

Welcome here. I have a friend who dreams of someday owning a Vanner.

Vanners are gorgeous horses. I would love to have one for a driving horse

Welcome to the forum. I hope you find/convert some friends that are bitless.

Much welcome Fin! Kudos for making your own bridle Hope it helps having us to natter to.

Welcome and what a gorgeous horse

There are lots of people improvising and inventing their own BB's on this forum so you are in good company!

Hope you find the forum useful and interesting

I borrowed a vanner to do a clinic - he's in my avatar - and he was just the most wonderful, kind, clever and active horse, nothing like you expect when you see one pulling a vardo! I'm glad you're doing dressage - I once met someone who has a half-Shire mare trained to Grand Prix standard although for some reason she never bothered to compete...(Thanks Wendy for fixing the website for me)

Hi and a big welcome from me and my big Shire horse - its great that this forum is attracting more and more bitless - hope you enjoy it!
