We've published articles about bitless driving in Inharness magazine and there are some enthusiasts around, however my research (then) showed that the BDS, BHDTA and insurers are not keen. There was a driver in the Midlands who used to drive bitless in horse driving trials - had her own insurance, I believe. Ideal Equestrian sell a bitless driving noseband: www.idealequestrian.com Choose the GB flag, click on the Accessories link and it's the second item, with photos, instructions and diagrams. Sometimes clubs/indoors allow waivers but you won't be allowed to compete at nationals, as Patti says. | ||
