I am interested in a LG bridle. Are you still taking orders? If not is there any other place I can get one?

Great article, only just found it while researching bitless bridles.

I am interested in an LG bit alternative for my Percheron gelding. I don’t think I need the entire bridle, as I can use his current headstall, correct? His head is HUGE and I had to have his current bridle altered to fit him. When do you anticipate your next order going in? I think my horse will like the LG, and I will LOVE not having to warm his bit in the freezing winter…
Thanks for your time… Edna and Ahab

Does any one know how well this bridle works for jumping? I don’t like bits my pony doesn’t seem to mind but it’s time to change.
Also, he thinks that he’s a TB when we go trekking and races with my sisters TB at full gallop and ignores me, is this bridle good for stopping strong horses?
Thank you.

I am interested in getting a LG bitless briddle.
I understand to get one right away is 145.00
Does it come with instructions? And where do I place my order?
Anxiously awaiting your swift reply.

Have had a couple LG bridles for years now.

One thing I do right with horses is to teach them REAL collection….total engagement of the hind quarters, elevation of the wither, elevation of the neck, and most elegant and soft giving head set imaginable. The LG is a very real and respectable tool for this. When used properly, gingerly, and with very educated hands, it will never act on the poll and chin together. Is possible to use it very, very finely, establish a fine collection, and have the horse utterly set up for anything you’d ask… but yet light as a feather with only the weight of a slightly draping rein as support. Have had many “AH HA!” moments… many enlightenments using the LG.

When comparing shots or videos, I don’t see any real difference in using the LG or a bit on my own horses. If anything my horses look MUCH lighter in front than the “collected” horses I see in less than practiced hands. Not being arrogant here, but there is a tremendous difference between “containment” which I often see resulting in a lack of impulsion and faulting the front end….and real collection which frees the front end while the hind end steps under fiercely. Think canter pirouettes.

Have worked with all kinds of horses both tough and over achiever types in the LG. My personal horse is an off-track 17.1 hh TB that I retrained as a BigEq champion…he goes in the LG frequently for more intensive dressage work, to introduce new higher level dressage movements, and for general hacking.

I feel very safe using the LG. I feel the thread of connection is very strong yet gentle. I swear by it and my horse’s are the proof positive. Would imagine the LG to be an excellent tool for teaching or re-educating someone’s hands….to make them softer, more forgiving, and more exact……to make the “static” of unsure hands and the weight of heavy hands a thing of the past.

Worth far more than the actual price in terms of value. Would never part with mine.
