F.R.A. Bit-less Bridle Dandy Side Pull Leather Reins Naturel

Looking for a bit-less bridle that values tradition and offers a touch of modernity? Meet the F.R.A. bit-less bridle Dandy side pull with leather reins. It's perfect for riders who want to guide their horse with a kind hand.

Time-Tested Design
Bit-less bridles have been around for ages! Before bits, people simply used ropes. The Dandy side pull works by applying gentle pressure on the horse's nose and cheeks, guiding it without touching its mouth. Your horse will feel more comfortable, and you'll feel more connected.

How It Works
The leather noseband of this side pull bridle ends in a ring on each cheek, where the chinstrap and cheekpiece attach. The reins hook onto a second ring, which fine-tunes your control. A small leather strap links the noseband to the cheekpiece, helping to keep everything in place. It's all about keeping things simple and effective.

Versatile for Different Halters
The FRA system 3 also fits various button halters, like the FRA side pull. These halters come in different designs and thicknesses—6mm, 7mm, and 8mm. You can get ones like the basic Babia in 3 sizes or go for the Capal and Pablo, which come in more sizes and offer nubuck or leather protection for professional use. Make sure the halter fits snugly without too much play.

Perfect Placement
Both the side pull and button halters should rest on the hard part of the nose, just where the nasal bone begins. The chinstrap might feel a bit snug but don't overtighten it. This prevents the bridle from twisting around. Side pull literally means 'to pull sideways', so when you move your hand away from the neck, it applies pressure to the opposite cheek, helping with tempo changes or stopping.

Simplicity at Its Best
This bridle is not just for riding but also for normal lunging, using special lunge goggles. They fit right into the rings where the reins usually go. However, for double line lunging, use the same rings. Button halters follow a similar principle and offer great control with their low, central rein attachment. It's worth noting that button halters aren't suitable for lunging work.

All-Rounder Bridle
Whether you're training a young horse, working with a sensitive one, or just starting as a rider yourself, this bridle suits everyone. Great for correcting 'spoiled' horses or those fearful of the rein, it provides a soft connection that's sure to boost your riding experience. Perfect for outdoor adventures and long-distance treks, too. Plus, all system 3 bridles can double as halters.
