Nanouk Bitless Bridle (System 4) Cotton w/ Clip Reins Natural/Black C-FF. R. A. bitless system 4: bitless bridles are not new! For centuries a bitless bridle was taken for granted, before it was ever thought of putting something in the horse's mouth, people simply put something around it. A rope as a halter was sufficient at the time and that is how the first bitless bridle was created.

F.R.A. bitless system 4: bitless bridles are not new! For centuries a bitless bridle was taken for granted, before it was ever thought of putting something in the horse's mouth, people simply put something around it. A rope as a halter was sufficient at the time and that is how the first bitless bridle was created. In combination with the supporting weight, leg and feeling aids, the rider's hand maintains contact via the reins, not with the mouth, but with the head of the horse.
Operating principle: Pressure on the nose and cheeks, chin crossed reining. System: In this system the noseband ends in a ring on either side to which the cheek pieces and both crossed straps are attached. These crossed straps are lead through a ring at the end of a short length of leather which in itself is attached to the rings of the nose band. The result is that the whole crossed part hangs a little lower than with the jaw crossed bridles (system 5). To the outer ends of the crossed straps the reins are attached. Furthermore this bridle is simple in design because of the lack of a brow band, throat latch and buckle which we normally find on a nose band. At the left hand side we find a buckle attachment in the cheek piece, it is the only buckle which is needed to measure the bridle to size. Once the bridle fits you just simply put a bridle of this system on the horse’s head and you don’t have to readjust it anymore. For the F.R.A.® cotton bridles of system 4 counts the same, of course there are no buckle attachments or other leather like descriptions in that system line.
Position: As it is with most bit less bridles it is also applicable to the system 4 bridles that the nose band must lie on the hard part of the nose, approximately there where the nose bone begins. The special design of these bridles cause a good and steady positioning on the horse’s head without having to attach or adjust anything.
Influence: The chin crossed straps will cause, when you want to go to the left or to the right, that the horse will feel the pressure on the opposite side of the nose and cheek and subsequently it will follow the rider’s hand, turns as a result of the pressure. Simultaneous halts on both reins close the nose band and give possibilities to halt and changes of pace. The above mentioned left or right turn of both reins will always have a certain dose, because of the indirect reining, it is this dose that determines the discriminating influence. This results that a desired change will always have a smooth effect. It stands to reason that the reining aids are supported by the other supporting aids. The little connecting latch that connects the rein leading ring to the nose band and the cheek piece causes a low positioning and a free running of the crossed curb bands which is very good for the release. Extra attention with this type of bridles must always be given to the maintenance of the crossed curb bands, the right maintenance will give the leather its suppleness to continuously experience the right release. The bridle may not be used for lunging with the single lunge and neither for the Pessoa lunge. For lunging with double lines you take off the reins and use the rings to attach the long lines.
Suitability: The bridle is used in combination with light rein contact and is very suitable for sensitive horses. Therefore the bridle is particularly suitable for riding young horses and fiery sensitive horses, in that category the bridle may also be used as a driving bridle. Apart from the fact that the bridle can be used as a halter it gives total freedom for the mouth which can be an advantage during country rides.

Transformed my feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
After trying several other brands that actually my size did not have the luxury feeling of these. T although x large they have the BEST feel and function. I put lotion on then slip them on and within a few minutes my dry cracked heals are soft. Really a nice product.

Keeps my wild child busy!
Color: Orange
*UPDATE 1/10/26* Does my pup love it? Yes. 5 stars for that. His big thing is just holding it in his mouth though, and laying down with it. Then he will put it down, and as soon as it rolls away he gets up and grabs it again. He definitely requires attention from his humans when it’s turned on…kind of defeats the purpose of why I bought it! He’s a needy boy, that’s for sure, so it’s not the toy’s fault. Two improvements I’d love to see though, are 1) the ability to turn off that yappy bark. I think my dog is more excited about it moving and not so much the yapping. Not that it’s bad, but my boy doesn’t bark much so I’m used to a quieter household. And 2) when removing the base for powering off, there should be a sensor so it doesn’t keep spinning in the socket, occasionally slipping out and hitting the floor. I worry about it breaking due to this. This thing arrived today and we couldn’t wait till Christmas to give it to our high play drive Australian Shepherd. It’s been barely above zero for weeks with no end in sight, and I have cold weather asthma so I really try to limit my exposure to the elements. Needless to say, my dog has been B O R E D. He truly craves interactive play with his humans, but last week I bought a cheap r/c cat toy that really caught his attention. So I splurged on this toy and so far, it’s AWESOME. He can’t control himself when the rope starts spinning. He pounces on it and it goes spinning off and around. He keeps picking it up thinking it’ll stop, but it keeps going. After 5 minutes of play he was acting completely gassed, but he just can’t resist it, as he put it down to get a drink of water and it started spinning again. Forget the water, I need that toy! As long as this thing can handle the teeth, slobber, dirt and grime, I’ll be a repeat customer!

My dog loves it...but needs charging four, five times a day. You really need 2 for full-time play
Color: Blue
My dog loves this toy. The first time she saw it and it started rolling, bounding, and waving the ropes around...she was barking at it, chasing it, grabbing it, jumping all over the place. There is no other toy she has that she will leave this for. And...that's part of the problem. I have to take this away from her three, four, five times a day to recharge it. The charge barely lasts an hour and the toy is dead. And it takes over an hour to charge it all the way up. Which means she plays with it less than it spends charging. That's not ideal. The product page and manual that comes with the toy says there is a 10-minute play period followed by a 30-minute interval to let the dog cool down...not get overly stimulated. I have never seen a cool-down period. I don't know if it's because the dog plays with it, shakes it around, tosses it and chases it, etc., etc., etc. constantly...but it just keep going until the battery is dead. I wish it did have a cool-down period. She likes playing with the ropes and rolling it around herself even after the battery dies, so if there was a cool-down, maybe it wouldn't need to be charged many times a day. Once it's charged and she sees me putting it back together, she gets very excited and starts jumping up and trying to grab it. Our corgi reduces most rope toys to threads in a day or less, and this one has held up surprisingly well against her super-chewing habits. The material the ball part is made of is very durable (we have a couple other toys with the same type of shell) and she's chewed on them all a lot without any damage. The toy keeps her entertained and happy...when it's not on the charger. I wish it was a good-enough value for the money to be able to justify buying two of them so I could have one charging while she was playing with the other. ================= I'm adding 1 star, because the company customer service is outstanding. They emailed me about my concerns vis-a-vis the short battery life, and it seemed that they really listened and cared about my input. I don't know what, if anything, can be done to extend the battery life given that it's spinning some substantial pieces of rope around, but I think they'll do as much as they can. In the meantime, my dog's love for this toy has not diminished in the least. She still gets very excited when she sees me starting to put it together after it's done charging, and she ignores everything else (sometimes even offers of treats) to play with it. I have a second one now, and I can almost keep them going full-time, but the few minutes every couple hours when both of them are on the charger is probably good for her anyway...she'd probably be over-stimulated if she had one of these to chase non-stop. Summary: Great toy, lots of fun, my dog loves it. However, you really need two the way things are right now unless you are okay with your dog being able to play less than half the time.
