The best bitless bridle in the world and the best horse program to go with it…
… and they’re both prizes to be won just by entering in the draw at the bottom of the page.
We’ve added new prizes for the delayed draw. The World Bitless Association had massive tech problems with their Facebook page and had to delay their draw, so we’ve delayed ours to be in sync with them AND added some new prizes to sweeten the delay.
First prize in our World Bitless Horse Day Prize Draw includes:
Re-think your ability to reach your horse dreams with the newly revamped Fast Track to Brilliant Riding program @ $1500
World Bitless Day is a fabulous time to talk about Fast Track to Brilliant Riding
AND
Your choice of Cynthia’s LightRider Bitless Bridles – valued at $200.
If you haven’t seen one of Cynthia’s ingenious inventions in action before, this is Melissa Guest and Buck, showing off their refined communication in their Light Rider Stockhorse Bridle. You can salivate over which bridle you’d like to own, on Cynthia’s website here.
AND…
EVERY single one of us has the capacity to be, not just good with horses, but brilliant.
To turn your new bridle into a whole new, centaur-like togetherness with your horse, also as first prize, you can win the on-line program Fast Track to Brilliant Riding @ $1500
Dream about what you’d do with a program that will have you achieving things you never thought possible, to problem solve with gentleness and replace years of training and thousands of dollars of clinics and lessons (even struggling) with a riding seat that’s sucked into the saddle like a magnet, the kind of lovely spongey hands that you’ll on;y see on the tiniest percentage of riders and a happy, confident, co-operative horse who is enjoying your communication together.

Second Prize
I’ve added a second prize of the lovely Journey to Feel program. You can check out what you might win here.
Journey to Feel
Third Prize
And Cynthia’s added one of her famous bitless nosebands. I used it to turn Bobby’s good bridle into a bitless – an ingenious gadget!
We care very much!
Cynthia and I both care that you enjoy our emails, so there’s a very simple unsubscribe which won’t affect your entry in the competition. You’ll also find some very good reasons to hang around in your welcome email! <3
I have a question: While lifting upwards with the hands, isn’t there a danger of the horse inverting the neck, as in ewe neck, and the contraction of the lower neck muscles? If not, can you explain how that is averted–what technique is used to avoid it?
Great question Christina. Any kind of pull with our hands will have our horse needing to be defend against that somewhere in their body and the danger of the horse inverting their neck is one of those ways. Whether bitted or bitless, in our work we’re working with their comfort zone (so their back is elevated) and the Feel for them that brings One’ness, so we don’t need to pull our horse. We look for such togetherness that when we lift OUR sternum (which would automatically lift our hands a little) that our horse is lifting their front end too. And with our Feel, we wouldn’t lift our sternum further than our horse could lift theirs in that moment, because that would actually be US disconnecting from them. I call that over-riding and our disconnecting from our horse by over-riding can happen in all kinds of ways, not just in the sternum lift. And just because they can’t lift their sternum doesn’t mean that’s the end of it – we have a technique in Fast Track that we use to expand whatever it is that we’ve run into that they can’t do. And p.s. the over compensation of the underneath neck – the ewe neck – is caused by the withering of the upper trapezius muscle, which is a kidney muscle, which is where both we and the horses bury fear. So it isn’t always caused by hands. You can have an unridden horse with a ewe neck for that reason. And just for interest, the psoas muscle in the pelvis is also a kidney muscle.
Your last two sentences are very interesting! Thank you for the explanation.
If I win can I gift the program to someone? Seeing as I am already a fast track student….
You certainly can Lisa. You can either have someone in mind or keep the bridle and get me to draw Fast Track again.
Hi Jenny. I already have lifetime access to your fast track program doesnt feel right to enter….
See my other reply Lisa. There’s no reason not to enter the draw for the bridle and then choose who gets the Fast Track program or I can draw it again. So there would be two lucky people instead of one. <3
Bitless riding interests me as both a rider and a coach. Several of my student are interested in learning more about it and my own instructor rides grand prix movements bitless! Very keen and open to learn!
You’ve picked the perfect time to talk about it! <3 Is dressage your thing too? I like Cynthia's bitless bridle because when you lift your hand, there's a clear upward signal to elevate the front end, which is important for a bitless bridle in dressage. We're going to be talking about that kind of thing in detail later in the week.
