RE: [bitlessbridle] stopping with a bitless bridle

Here Is what I do.  I pull back on both reins keeping my hands low.  That usually works.  However, Butthead often gets a worm in his brain and he chooses not to listen to my more subtle cues.  I then pull back alternating reins rapidly and with authority.  This will usually get his attention.  It just takes time.

The bitless bridle I am getting is the LG Bitless Bridle.  I have my emergency stopping down fine.  I was a little concerned that I would not have the same "control" with the bitless bridle for general stopping.  I realize this will take time spent in the saddle between me and my equine.  Just wanting to know if  maybe you noticed somthings I should not do with my new bridle.  The problem is I going this alone - I have not met anyone in my area that would even come close to the path I am now taking!  Thanks, L.Garrahan
