Dressage is the most elegant and sartorial of all equestrian disciplines. It therefore seems bizarre that British Dressage does not allow competitors to go bitless.
The obvious harmony and togetherness displayed by such control without the use of a metal bit would surely endear such riding to any horse-loving observer.
Supporters of the Bitless Riding Revolution have got together to stage the first ever British Bitless Dressage Championship, to be held in Harwell, Oxfordshire, on Saturday 10th August.
Secretary for the event is Belinda Shaw, and she explains 'British Dressage is dragging its toes - it is stuck in the 19th Century. All other equestrian disciplines allow competitors to go bitless. It is not a matter of if British Dressage allow us to compete, but when they are going to wake up to the wonderful aesthetic sight of horses and rider moving as one in perfect harmony'.
This will be an annual event but we hope it will not need to be for many years.
Please ring the Championship Coordinator - Mark Smith - 07930 151 562- for details of the event or to discuss the Bitless Riding Evolution.
