(2) How long will it take for my horse to transition from bitted to bitless?

Horses that are light, sensitive, quick learners and have solid basic to advanced schooling seem to make the transition to bitless quickly. Some horses will show change as quickly as one or two training sessions. Most people who have started going bitless will still use the Bit to Bitless Transitional Connectors when introducing new or more complex movements for the first time to help clarify there aids.
(3) What if my horse has still not grasped going bitless after a couple of months?

You may need to consider a few possibilities:

TEETH - As much as one would need to check teeth when riding with a bit, it is also imperative to have your horse's teeth checked regularly when going bitless. This should be done every 6 to 10 months BY a qualified equine dentist. This would help to prevent the noseband from potentially putting pressure on any sharp tooth edges.

SADDLE - Although you may be using a bitless bridle, a saddle can play such a crucial role in the horse's welfare that one must always make sure the saddle fits correctly. An ill-fitting saddle can produce insurmountable problems! It might also be wise to have a chiropractor or physiotherapist look at your horse if you suspect any back trouble.

CORRECT TRAINING AND GROUNDWORK IS VITAL - Teaching your horse to yield from pressure is crucial in understanding the bitless action.

DIET - “What you put in, is what you get out!”
