Looks like it could be a good idea Zelda. It's something like a webbing bridle/combination I made up for some friends when they were having problems with a pony. The only thing is, I can't find the price and (tightwad that I am) that will make a difference to my overall judgement.

Hmmm.....I'm not convinced with this one. I've seen photos of the horse bitted on the low and medium settings and then the highest (most severe) setting....and the horse did not look happy at all on that last photo. That's without the reins being engaged. Although it did look reasonably happy with the low setting. I'm the type that would like to 'kick the tires', so although the theory sounds good, I'd like to have a feel to see what the horse's face is like under all this. It looks like a bad piece of knitting if you ask me, and I had a hard time understanding how this strap led to that leverage, et al. I'd want to be shown that the straps would smoothly release in a timely manner and engage properly...and I'd prefer to watch a horse going undersaddle to see what its take on it would be like.

I just read about them today in H&H and thought they looked a good idea from the comfort point of view. I've never ridden in a bitless bridle so can't comment on that but I'd be interested to see one being used with a bit. Seems to be well thought out.

It looks to me like I would put it on inside out and upside down!! Certainly never seen or heard of it before, but will keep an eye and see if it becomes popular.
