Justin Dunn Bitless Bridle

I can't recommend this bridle enough. I switched to bitless riding because I care about my horse, and personally I would not like to have a metal bar in my mouth for hours on end, so why would my horse?! So when I first went bitless I bought a used side pull bridle on Craigslist to try it out first, before investing in one. After trying it out my horse was just as responsive as using a snaffle, and she got VERY soft.(FYI - Do not get the bitless bridles that crisscross and squeeze, or tighten, around the horses nose!) My only issue with the Craigslist bridle was that it had a stiff "rope" nose band that never seemed to fit well. It stuck out on the sides and it was so rough on her nose that I had to wrap fabric around it to protect her nose. I did a lot of research when I decided to buy a new, good one, and this Justin Dunn side pull was what I decided upon after much research. Not only does it have the spread out leather straps which keep it from spinning around my horse's face, and gives gentle contact, but it also has a nice soft rope nose band. It's perfect!! It's soft, doesn't rub her nose, doesn't slip around, it's large and very adjustable, and she is responsive like she's never been before. My horse has some draft in her and her head it big, and this bridle fits great. After using it regularly I can laterally flex her with just a slight movement with my fingertips. She loves this bridle, as do I, and I can't recommend it enough. Also, the silver pieces are beautiful, and although they are not sterling, they look just like sterling silver pieces. Solid and beautiful, not plated junk. Very well made with high quality materials, not cheap at all. Well worth every penny, and personally I would spend a lot more on it. I LOVE IT!!!

This is a quality product and is adjustable to fit almost any size horse. I chose the option with the smaller side buckles and don't think I'd like the larger buckle options as well. I've used it on two horses so far and it has worked like a dream.

First, The only small issue I have is that the buckle seems close to her eye; I didn't see it rub but I'm going to watch it on the next couple rides.Other than that, this bridle is AMAZING and I highly recommend it. The bridle was a bit dry as new tack usually is but with some conditioner you can see that it's made with quality leather. I have a hard to fit mare but it fit right outta the box and didn't even have to use my hole punch LoL The bridle is absolutely beautiful and worth every penny.

I was riding my mare in a Little S Hackamore and wanted to go totally bitless, and away from mechanical hacks. I bought this and was instantly impressed. It beautiful and very well made. It looks great on my horse and since I bought mine, two of my friends also bought one! These look great on every horse I’ve seen them on and they work great too. I love this and it’s a great bargain for the price, as I know it’s a lifetime bridle..

First I want to say to everyone:Please go watch the Justin Dunn Bitless Bridle video for proper fitting. A proper fit will ensure the buckles don’t slide towards your horse’s eyes.👀First, after I took the tags off, I tried the bridle under saddle with my horse- she responded very well! This is a horse with a traumatic past (being “broke” to ride at age 2 in a very rough way, she bucked the rider off and he broke his shoulder). I have had her for three years now. She is now 5 and with positive reinforcement she has come along way! I definitely loved how she rode in it- and she is just now being saddled to ride! Her ground manners are great- but she is VERY GREEN under saddle! Her back up was very light with this bridle! I definitely recommend this bitless bridle over other bitless rope halters made for riding because those tend to slide! When properly fitted, this Justin Dunn Bitless Bridle SHOULD NOT slide towards her eyes! 👀 I did test this out- and did not have it slide around!Next, given the price of this bitless, I was kind of shocked at some flaws. The person who put this together in the shop might have been new in their training OR was simply being careless. All of the leather strings were tied on incorrectly- which is dangerous. Each string needed to be looped through one more time- and then tightened. I have attached photos to detail this. ***PLEASE*** check you bridle out and make sure to make the needed correction for your safety!Another issue is that whoever put the bridle together put the throat latch on upside down- which means the loose leather just hangs. So I had to reverse it. No biggy!Next, this horse size bridle is made to fit a wide range of horse heads- which I LOVE!I do recommend this bitless bridle, especially for those transitioning from a rope halter to a side pull.That stated, we have only rode in it once. I will come back to update this post over time!I hope this helps!UPDATE- my mare is still riding in this bitless bridle and she responds well! She refuses a bit (teeth checked. No issues). I’ve tried several bits, but she likes this!

The only thing I found annoying is the big buckle will ride up into my horses eyes. So I have to figure out how to stop that.Other than that I love it.

So far it works great he's almost too big for the horse size. But in all fairness he is half draft horse. so I just bought a leather strap of the same color to get it to fit a little better. And to get the buckle away from his eye better. He responds to it get I love how light of hand I can be with him. And now when trail riding when we take breaks he can freely eat grass while relaxing along with other treats that would be harder for him too eat with his bit. I highly recommend this bridle for people to get.

Got horse size. Fits perfectly on my aqha - he has a pretty big head. Buckle doesn't get in his eye like other reviews had mentioned, and I tightened it up a few holes. Would highly recommend!!

My gelding was never a fan of bits. I had been trying every bit less option to see what he felt the best in. He was doing great in an S hackamore but I decided to try this out. I instantly noticed my horse just felt more relaxed under saddle.My horse definitely doesn't need much stopping power and was already quite soft in other bitless options. But I can tell he likes this side pull. He gives to it. It's not harsh at . The rope isn't stiff or abrasive. The leather is soft and high quality. I didn't have an issue with the buckle as some other reviews mentioned.I highly suggest this side pull.

I had too take to a saddle maker here to remove the large buckles a have smaller one put on now it fits an not bothering my horses eyes. And looks much better.

Traumhafte Qualität! Weaver eben.Passt meinem Traber mit WB Kopf ausgezeichnet. Als Schnäppchen für unglaubliche 28 Euro geschossen :)

Fits my draft cross well. Glad i got it!

Looks amazing and fits my horse great. Curb strap is almost too short.
