The BARCOO BITLESS BRIDLE is another version of the legendary Barcoo bridle. Surprisingly, many horses do not need bits,. Often they are in a bit because, well, that is tradition. The Barcoo Bitless has a roll of leather positioned across the nose, and this exerts pressure on that sensitive area when a pull is applied to the reins.. Without a bit, the horse is less likely to toss his head, which is a sign of annoyance, and resistance to forward movement. The horse is easily trained to stop with a pull that will become increasingly gentle as the horse gets the idea. The bridle has adjustment on the poll straps well as ample adjustment on the cheek straps. Matching reins are included. Made from strong solid cowhide. Colors brown or black. Fittings are brass or nickel.
