Just curious as I will be hopefully starting one or both of our babies this fall (Beevy is 4, Tagg is 3). We always like to take things slow, so no worries about the work they'll be doing, ok? Anyways, I am curious as to what the difference is between horses broken to bits and horses broken to hackamores/bosals/etc. (basically bitless) -- meaning, do you think horses learn to be softer in a bitless or learn quicker in a bit or any of that?
I'd like to start my filly (Beevy) bitless. Should I go straight into a bitless bridle or start with a hackamore?
I know most Quarter Horses are started in hackamores here in the US, but if ANYONE has any ideas/opinions/experiences, please list them here!
