🐎 Why choose this product?
Bitless does not mean action-free. The Sopot's shanks multiply the effect of the rider's hands: this is a bridle for experienced riders, not a purely forgiving option.
🧴 Care instructions
⚠️ The leverage effect applies pressure to the nasal bone and poll: keep your hands low and light, and never use this bridle with the reins held constantly taut. ⚠️ Adjust the noseband so that two fingers fit over the nasal bone, and the throatlash so that one flat hand fits underneath. An overly tight bridle does not make a horse more stable: it prevents the horse from chewing and swallowing. Clean with glycerin soap after each use, then condition the leather once it is dry. ⚠️ Never dry leather near a radiator: it becomes hard and cracks.
