I'm not sure I see what's different about it from any other "bitless bridle" cross-over style. Can you see something different? The noseband is nice and fat though, and I'm glad she was clear that it shouldn't be on the soft part of the nose. I hope she rides with more finesse than she showed in that video. Her "small turns" were pretty abrupt looking to me! I also don't like the premise that "where the nose goes, the horse follows." Yeah, sort of, maybe, but I am a believer of seat and leg aids first, regardless of whether you're using a bit or not. And, I'm not convinced that bits always cause pain, at least not the less-severe types. I think they CAN cause pain, depending on the horse's anatomy and past experiences, but there are also some not-so-humane hackamore and bitless options out there too. That said, I couldn't anything clearly enough in the video to say that might not be a perfectly acceptable alternative for some horses...? Have you seen one in person? Karen Thomas, NC
