Wonder CareGenuine English Leather Crossover Crossunder Bitless Bridle for Horse Headstall with Reins

We have very energetic and forward-going Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse mare 15.2hh. I had a vision that she would benefit from going bitless and ran into this bridle on Amazon. The bridle is of very good quality and very adjustable. The horse is on last holes on cheek pieces and throat lash but extras can be punched if necessary. I also had to punch a hole about 1 inch from last manufactured hole in the chinstrap to make it tighter to follow instructions for fitting. This was not a big deal. The horse is happy and I am happy too because she finally relaxed and is not bracing. Steering and stopping present no problems. I think it's liberating experience for both horse and rider. You can see video of her (her name is Midnight Star) riding bitless on Facebook #lifelinesaveshorses.

Do not buy from this seller. Thry require you pay return postage. It comes from India and return postage was going to cost me MORE than this bridle itself. Their ACE in the whole to not get any returns. Also the bridle itself was MUCH too large for my horse and did not match sizing given to choose from. Also the product is extremely stiff. I highly reccomend to stay away from this product and seller. Not happy all the way around.

I have 2 of Dr. Cook's bitless bridles and this is sooo much nicer. The leather is soft and it is made so well that I am really impressed. And it came with reins so the price was really great. I love it and highly recommend it. Oh yeah, and I got it in 5 days!!! Fabulous!

It seems to be very nice quality leather because mine was super soft and flexible upon arrival. It is always a must for me to have prime shipping, but sometimes this seller does offer prime. My horse (15 hands) has a smaller head and needs the pony size, but it is super adjustable so that is nice if you need to use one for multiple horses. It also has leather padding where each buckle is under the chin. I can see it being a problem if you are not attentive when you put it on because you do not want them to fold in and create discomfort for the horse. The top of bridle that creates the poll pressure is very wide, so hopefully it will create nice even pressure over a wider surface. It is ideally a side pull that mimics the Dr. Cook bridle for a much more affordable price (this comes with a nice set of reins too!).

Although this is well made & looks decent, my horse did not seem to care much for it. Not sure if it was the pressure under her jaw caused by the cross straps or what, but she was much less responsive than when we use a more simple rope nose style where there’s nothing under her jaw. I highly recommend the weaver rope nose attachment which attaches to any bridle you already have in place of the bit-you just add a chin strap to the back & you’ve saved $50+ buying yet another bridle. Live & learn.

Leather is nice and flexible. Padding across nose, chin, brow & poll seem comfortable. All stitching is solid. Not giving this five stars because there is a small section of leather on the headstall that is lightly cracked. The cracks are shallow and seem superficial, so I'm keeping the bridle. I'll just give it a good conditioning before using it. If any problems, I'll update again.

My new gelding was stressing out over a bit so we were working him in a rope halter. Tried another bitless and it pinched his face. This one works great and he responded very well

This bitless bridle is made of soft fine leather. The nose band is well padded and is very comfortable on the horse. The cob size fits perfectly on both of my horses. It can easily be adjusted for my larger horse which is a registered paint which measures 14.3. Both horses respond to this bridle well with light hands. Highly recommend this.

We bought this to use for my daughters Shetland pony. Adjusted to the smallest setting, it just fits.The pony doesn't like a bit in his mouth, so this is a great alternative. My daughter is very young, so we make sure that she has a loose contact so she doesn't hurt his face. He responds well to it, sometimes needing some verbal prompting from me.

The leather seems good quality but a bit stiff. I bought size large for a thoroughbred and head stall was spot on but the nose band is twice as big as needed. It would feat a bull or a bear. I had to cut almost half of it and make new set of holes.

Its a very nice quality bridle and rains BUT I was sent the wrong size and it does not fit. I checked my order and it is not my error. I ordered Full/average horse and recieved a cob. Very disappointed as I love the bridle.
