Hungary Says YES to Bit-Free Dressage at National Levels

Written By Alexandra Mackenzie Doan

This news is so interesting and will hopefully start a trend over the world ….some horses just prefer bitless as do some riders - this opens the door to more opportunities for all kinds of horse and rider athletes whether they compete or not. Whether you're someone who enjoys a leisurely ride or a competitor aiming for the top, the new regulations in Hungary are paving the way for more inclusive riding experiences. More styles of bitless bridles will be invented as well, providing more options for those who want to take the bitless route.

The move to allow bit-free dressage in Hungary is a significant milestone, and it's encouraging to think that this might inspire other countries to follow suit. As more riders and horses make the switch to bitless, there will be a greater push for innovation in equestrian gear, and more riders will feel empowered to embrace their unique needs and preferences. We love ours, and it's thrilling to think that soon more and more riders might be able to experience the same freedom and connection that bitless riding offers.

Positively Reinforcing good horse and dog behavior

Moose Ridge Farm is located in Lincolnville, Maine just 15 minutes from the coast. A small Dressage Barn where ground work and under saddle work come together to create deeper understanding between horse and rider through clicker training. The horses are able to move around 24/7 in paddocks adjoining their stalls and in the fields. There is a lovely sunny indoor arena, heated tack room and warm water in the wash stall. Horses are given hay 4x day and stalls are fluffy. Alexandra has been clicker training horses for 23 years - her personal horses, her boarders and her riding students. She loves putting the puzzle pieces of animal behavior and training of equines and canines together, not only worki.n with the animals but also coaching the humans. Dog classes, though new to the farm, are not new to her. She grew up with dogs and cats, has raised 3 dogs the past 25 years and is a true animal lover. Positive Reinforcement training is fun and encourages kind, clear communication within boundaries.
