• What are Nurtural Bitless Clinics

    

  Nurtural Better Bitless Clinics show what happens when a horse and rider (or driver) who have always used a bit take their first ride (or drive) in a Nurtural Bitless Bridle

  One or more pre-registered riders/drivers go through a series of exercises (like keeping a straight line and stopping calmly at walk, trot, canter; or backing up; or going through cones; or around a barrel pattern or over a jump…)The rider and the audience rate (A) how well they completed the task (performance) and (B) how calm and responsive the horse was (relationship.)

  Then their bits, or other bitless bridle, are replaced by Nurtural Bitless Bridles. After a few minutes, they repeat the same exercises. The rider/driver and the audience again rate both their performance and relationship. Is the Nurtural Bitless Better? You be the judge.!

  “We don’t ‘teach’; we provide a unique opportunity to participate and learn!”
