Find me a..... Cheap bitless bridle

[JinglebellJessi & MistletoeMagic]

After a wonderful, bitless jumping session i have decided to try out a bitless bridle on kyra. Does anyone have any suggestions on a cheap, simple side pull bridle. Extra super bonus points if you can find one in yellow!

Many thanks!

Try e-bat for a second hand Dr. Cook's cross over bitless bridle.

I made a side pull out of my existing bridle. Just get two metal rings from an old head collar and attach them where the bit issuppose to go then attach it the cheekpieces to the metal rings. Its been a while since I made mine so I may be wrong in my explanation so heres a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoW4m6_e_qk If you don't this then just do what I also do an use a rope halter and make reins from a long line. I mostly ride out in the latter

Sorry Mistletoemagic I didn't read you post carefully enough. But have found the Dr cook's very effective

Brilliant ideas, the was looking at the rope ones but i thought they would be quite uncomfortable on the face. checking out that video now

Google Orbit bitless bridle it's a side pull nose band that will fit onto your existing bridle so vastly reduces the cost...

Not sure if they still do them, but Plas Equestrian used to do webbing padded sidepull bridles in all colours.

I bought my sidepull from Bitless and Barefoot. The online shop was quite limited when I bought mine but you can order one in any colour etc.

Nags Equestrian do cheap synthetic leather side pulls. In yellow too

Oh yh I forgot to mention bitlessandbarefoot.com do either a sidepull or scawbrig to fit to the existing bridle for less than twenty quid. A nose cover with the rope halter is a good idea.

I got one from Libbys (obviously synthetic) when a decided to give bitless a try - they sell their surplus stock on ebay so you can nearly always get a bargain.

Bitless easy trek. 49 quid from eBay. Really pleased with it.
