This leather crossunder bitless noseband offers a gentle, communication-focused alternative to traditional bitted bridles. Designed to feel familiar and comfortable to the horse, the crossunder system works more like a halter while still giving the driver or rider the feel and control of a bridle.
Attached to the cheekpieces in place of a bit, the crossunder ropes guide the horse using light pressure around the face rather than direct pressure inside the mouth. The unique design encourages steering through a gentle nudge on the opposite side of the face, helping create soft, responsive communication with minimal pressure.
Suitable for both driving and riding bridles, this style of bitless control can be particularly appealing for sensitive horses or those who are more comfortable working without a bit.
As with any change of equipment, it is important to introduce this different way of going gradually and safely. We strongly recommend beginning with long reining to allow the horse to understand and accept the new aids before progressing further.
