Hi,
Could anyone offer advice please...I currently ride one of my horses with a bit or bitless, she is fantastic at both depending whether we are schooling, jumping, hacking or 'playing'.
I currently use a Horsemans Halter, my mare goes really well in this, only a slight shift in my hand to change direction and a light touch to bring back from canter. The only thing is that this 'horsemans halter' has the 12ft line as well as reins attached to it - not being very good with knots myself I do not wish to take the line off. I no longer use a western saddle to tie the line to the horn and find the extra line a pain out hacking in my soft treed saddle, I have tied it around her neck but would prefer a bitless without this line - (most of the time).
I have found this website but it has three different types of noseband, ideally I would like something with clearer communication for perfection however not totally necessary.
Which is the best type of noseband and why?
Sidepull?
Scawbrig?
Indian Bosal?
I dont know if I should post a website but please take a look - I like them - what do you think?
Thank you so much - I am asking father *cough* christmas for one of these - fingers crossed.
