Bitless bridles for BS?

[MagicMelon]

Does anyone compete BS in a bitless bridle? Im not talking a hackamore type, but like a side pull etc.? Im considering trying mine in one just because I feel she might prefer it, but Im not sure whats allowed these days and if they give clear enough instruction for turning tight in jump offs etc.?

I have used an Lg Zaum for general riding and found the results same as a but.

However it was used on a horse who’d had plenty of ridden schooling, and extensive in hand ground work. He gave to pressure very well.

Yes our horse has been competing in a side pull since last autumn. What we were using was fine with the rule book and no problems. Competed British Novice second rounds.
